Mike, Thanks for your reply. I verified that NTK is ver 1.6.4. I also
verified that I am using the proper platform (2100) in the preferences
of the project setting. But I will triple check it again when I can get
back on.

NaN's--so that's what they mean! Ok I did the calibration thing a
couple of times and thought I was doing it right. I will re-verify my
inputs and see if the result improves.
