RATE CALIBRATION YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS. Software is set to expect STANDARD hardware. If a device meters at a much lower feed rate then expected, the software will take 10 to 20 cycles to fully adjust. During this time cycles will take longer. An example of this is a system using a 1/2" auger instead of 1". If you don't mind letting the system SELF ADJUST, or your hardware is STANDARD, then:
