4.8.4 Calibration of analog data
Analog data must in general be calibrated before they are useful, i.e. no vessel sails 5V. The two
calibration points should be set close to the extremes if possible.
E.g. Calibration of a speed log, which is generating analog output:

Calibration point 1: Enter the value indicated by the speed log while vessel is not moving or sailing
very slowly.
Calibration point 2: Enter the value indicated by the speed log while sailing close to maximum
speed.
