Perform CDM (internal densitometer) calibration

Recalibrate the DryStar 5300's internal densitometer (CDM) against an external calibrated densitometer — from the Service Command Session webpages — whenever a post-film-calibration density reproduction check comes back not OK, or after the Output module (which contains the CDM) has been replaced.
