- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of a calibration circuit in a tachometer?
**A**: The calibration circuit adjusts and verifies measurement accuracy by comparing sensor inputs against reference values stored in EEPROM memory, ensuring precise RPM readings.

### Q: How does the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) contribute to calibration accuracy?
**A**: The DAC converts digital calibration values from the EEPROM into precise analog signals that adjust the tachometer's measurement thresholds, enabling fine-tuned accuracy correction.

### Q: What maintenance is required for calibration circuits in industrial applications?
**A**: Periodic verification against reference standards, EEPROM data integrity checks, and component testing (oscillator stability, DAC output) ensure long-term calibration reliability in manufacturing environments.
