What is the NXT-G Calibration block for?

The Calibration block (located in the 'Advanced' section in the 'complete palette' tab on the left side of the screen) is used to determine what real-life sound and light levels correspond to the 0% and 100% levels of the sound and light sensors. In order to fully calibrate a sensor, two calibration blocks are needed. 





In the above program, the value in port 1 calibrates the minimum light sensor reading, then the NXT waits for the touch sensor to be pressed. Then the value in port 1 calibrates the maximum light sensor reading. This sets the scale of the sensor relative to these minimum and maximum levels.
