Summary Page showing the ratings of results with colours The FoCal Comparison Database compares your results with multiple FoCal users with the same equipment and indicates poor/acceptable/good ranges on charts with coloured regions, but up until this release we haven’t shown this sort of information for the numerical results. But sometimes it’s not obvious what this number really means – is that a good value, or a bad value? Results in FoCal are usually a number indicating an absolute value for the measurement taken – for example Quality of Focus may return a value of 1233.6.
