Oh by calibrated, I just mean figure out the distance from the bus bar to the current sensor such that -1000 amps to 1000 amps corresponds to the linear range of the chip. It's a little SOIC-8 chip, that just sits there right on the bar. With a pcb track going right below the chip on the same side of the pcb, the range is about +/- 30 amps. The range gets wider if you increase the distance. For example, to get a -1000 to 1000 range on a 7mT linear range device, you needed a distance of 0.75" from the current sensor to the bus bar. That was a bit annoying, so I think the 25mT one will be better suited.
