6.2 Using DCMS
6.2.1 Proper use and general remarks
• Store the sensor at the same ambient temperature as the display, facing
down in the sensor pod.
• When placing the sensor on the test patch, lead the cable over the top of the
display. Use the contra weight on the USB cable of the sensor to balance the
weight of the sensor. This prevents damage to the sensor if the suction cup
would release its grip.
• If the suction cup does not hold, slightly moisten the suction cup.
• Allow displays a warm up time of a few hours to stabilize before calibrating
them.
6.2.2 Calibrate a display

several displays is just a matter of repeating these steps for each of the displays
that need calibration.
