Transition for calibration scripting
This details changes in calibration settings from Echoview 4 to Echoview 5.0, and onward.
Verify existing COM scripts you developed for Echoview 4 and earlier, that use these calibration settings.
See also About calibrated data and About automating Echoivew for information about Echoview's current calibration and scripting tools.

Virtual variable calibration inheritance accessed by:
|
EvCalibration.UseCalibrationInheritance and EvVariablesCollection.UseCalibrationInheritance are not supported.
Virtual variables inherit their Transducer and SourceCal (Calibration Source) from the first operand. The first operand's LocalCal (from the operand's Calibration page of the Variable Properties dialog box) is not inherited. As a result, COM support for calibration inheritance is not necessary. However the virtual variable's calibration settings can be set/modified using an ECS file. There are core calibration settings that virtual variables use. Refer to Calibration for virtual variables for more information. |

Access or change calibration settings using EvCalibration properties. These properties included:
|
EvCalibration methods and properties are simplified. Access or change calibration settings in an ECS file that is added to a fileset in an EV file using:
The Echoview 5 calibration setting names have changed (slightly) and many, but not all, of the Echoview 4.90 EvCalibration properties are supported by analogs in Echoview 5. Current calibration setting names (and other defining information) that you can use with COM scripting are found in: Alternatively, Echoview's current calibration setting name list is available via the Calibration Information dialog box.
Under EvCalibration, calibration settings are referred to by the calibration setting name expressed as a string in a script.
New Echoview 5.0 calibration setting names include:
For more information refer to the calibration example script and its annotated partner.
