Spanish term or phrase: Etapa de calibración y entonamiento
Hi

This is from a technical specification for a chemical plant:

ASISTENCIA TECNICA DURANTE ARRANQUE Y PUESTA EN SERVICIO (INCLUYE ETAPA DE CALIBRACION Y ENTONAMIENTO POR 10 DÍAS)

The only translation I can find of entonamiento is tone, so my only guess is tuning and toning phase, but I would appreciate some thoughts/ideas.

Thank you!!

disagree  Rob James: Sorry, check "attunement phase" in Google and you will see it is not a valid term. "Attunment" itself is a new age term dealing with chakras and meditation and the like, and its inclusion in a technical text instead of "tuning" would be a mistranslation.

  -> Thanks for your comment "Tocayo"; You're absolutly right. Saludos from Acapulco! eski :;))

disagree  Giovanni Rengifo: I never heard the word "attunement" in this context. "tuning" is the word I've always heard.
