NOTE:
You can run either a 10 minute or 30 minute calibration. The longer the
calibration time, the more accurate the results.
11. Make sure the slider motor is positioned to your left and move
the carriage to the left side (closest to the motor) of the track
using the joystick.
This procedure requires measuring the distance the slider moves
from start point to end point. The easiest way to do this is to move the
carriage all the way to the end of the track (point A), run the calibration,
then measure the gap between point A and point B when complete.
