True, but it won't shift a lot compared to an incorrect backlash offset over a quick 30 point v-curve test. Each point will end up incorrectly off-set and the drift will be heavily amplified over the 30 points (30x offset error). The temp shift in comparison would be negligible, especially with 9micron pixels given the sampling. I just kept adjusting until the trough was exactly centered and that happened to be 0.
