1. A method of calibrating an endoscope, the method comprising:

  • receiving a first signal indicative of a type of electromagnetic radiation sensor associated with the endoscope;

    selecting one or more calibration instructions based at least in part on the first signal;

    defining a first calibration target, detectable by the electromagnetic radiation sensor for calibrating one or more settings of one or more components of the endoscope, based on the one or more calibration instructions;

    displaying the first calibration target;

    receiving a second signal from the electromagnetic radiation sensor, wherein the second signal is indicative of what portion of the first calibration target the electromagnetic radiation sensor detected;

    determining one or more correction factors, configured to adjust the one or more settings of the one or more components of the endoscope, based on the second signal; and

    defining a second calibration target detectable by the electromagnetic radiation sensor, wherein one or more characteristics of the second calibration target are based at least in part on the one or more calibration instructions and the second signal.
