The program rotates the C-arm counter clockwise (i.e., the tank assembly moves away from
the front of the machine). When the C-arm hits the AP mechanical limit the first time,

In the right hand column of the display, eight lines from the bottom (and highlighted in the
figure below), is the raw a/d readback of the motor encoder (in the example below, it is
2048). Manually rotate the encoder until the readback is 250±50 (i.e., in the range 200-300)
and then clamp the encoder to the drive shaft, making sure not to over stress the clamp.
Before repeating the calibration procedure, rotate the C-arm back to approximately 0º by
