The only reason to use PocketTopo to calibrate is to be able to save and to export (as text) the calibration data. The text export also provides the calibration matrix that is uploaded to the Disto X. It can be helpful in diagnosing a problem, but is not for the average user. Beat was collecting calibration files to sort out what was going on with some of the X2s that had high deltas on the level shots. That was what led to the new "NL" firmware and new version of PocketTopo to correct the non-linearity in some accelerometers.

But the springs that operate the bracket are magnetic you want to remove them. And so are the 6 screws that hold the case together. I replaced all of those with brass. Small metric screws are not easily found (and brass is even harder) - but McMaster-Carr has them.
I don't remember if the E7400X has washers in it, but all the washers in the A3 are magnetic, so check them if there are some. The A3 Disto X calibrations improved when all washer and all screws were replaced with brass.
