To enable/disable the pre-calibration using registry:
===========================================================================
There is a flag "WriteNVRam" (data type is REG_DWORD) in the registry which
is used to enable/disable the pre-calibration. This entry is under registry
key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elo TouchSystems\".
The value of "WriteNVRam" is 1 for pre-calibration (write calibration data
to NVRam);
If the value "WriteNVRam" is 0, it means disabled pre-calibration (no longer
write calibration data to NVRam).
If the "WriteNVRam" entry does not exist, pre-calibration is the default action.
This entry is created during first time calibration after Elo installation.
This flag applies to 3-point calibration mode only.
