To begin calibrations, type `pio calibrations run --device od`, and choose the protocol. Start off by inputting some metadata of your calibration. Provide a descriptive and unique name to make it easier to find your calibration again, if needed. Follow the rest of the questions.

One of your photodiodes will be located in the 90° or 135° pocket on the vial holder. You will be prompted to confirm the angle of your PD cable. If this is incorrect, go to the _Configuration_ tab on the Pioreactor UI and under _od_config.photodiode_channel_, change to your angle of choice, then restart your OD calibration.

Following the questions, stirring and optical density reading will begin. A graph is generated as you calibrate so you can see your progress.

Internally, the Pioreactor will vary the amount of voltage to apply to the stirring motor to reach the desired RPM, however, this can take a few minutes. We can significantly improve this by asking the Pioreactor to create a "map" between voltage and RPM beforehand. Then the Pioreactor only needs to perform a lookup in the map to hit the desired RPM.

This is optional, but can really help stirring performance. Creating a stirring calibration is also very easy, so we recommend it.

## Managing calibrations

From both the UI and the command line, you can manage your Pioreactor's calibrations.

69
+

70
+
71
+
**In the UI**
72
+
- Use the `Pioreactor` and `Device` filters at the top of the Calibrations page to focus on a specific unit and hardware type. Toggle **Only Active calibrations** to hide everything except the curve currently in use.
73
+
- Click any calibration row to open its detail view. Use **Set active** to mark that calibration as the one the Pioreactor will use for that device (only one calibration can be active per device per Pioreactor). Use **Set inactive** to clear it and disable calibration for that device.
74
+
- The chart in both the list view and detail view has a download icon—click it to export a PNG of the calibration curve for lab notes. The top-level **Download all calibrations** button grabs all calibration YAML files for backup.
75
+
- To edit a calibration, open its detail view and choose **View YAML**. Make small changes, save the YAML, and re-upload it via **Upload calibration** (or edit the YAML on-disk and use `pio calibrations display` to confirm before setting it active).
76
+
77
+
**From the command line**
78
+
- List what you have with `pio calibrations list` or scope to a single device with `pio calibrations list --device <device>`.
79
+
- Set which calibration is active with `pio calibrations set-active --device <device> --name <calibration_name>`. Omit `--name` to clear the active calibration for that device.
