In a Word Yes!

There are Two different Tests that should be done on an Avo Movement .

First, is the Movement sensitivity, and this is achieved by checking that FSD is reached
exactly at 37.5uA

This requires an accurate Current Source at this level obviously.

Second, is the Scale Linearity, and this will require a small circuit that would need to be
accurately calibrated when built.
This checks the 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 & 90% Scale points once the 100% (FSD) is
confirmed.

The Factory would have done exactly the same way we would do it now.
