Selecting the longest available measurement to calibrate the graphic's scale ensures that the scaling is done with the utmost precision. Longer measurements generally reduce the impact of potential errors that might arise from measurement inaccuracies. When you're scaling a floor plan, choosing a significant distance allows you to have a better overall understanding of the layout and distances involved. This method minimizes the potential discrepancies that can occur when using shorter measurements, which can be influenced by minor errors or variations. Consequently, using the longest measurement enhances the fidelity of the RF data, leading to a more reliable and accurate site survey.

While other methods, such as using a small object's size or measuring a doorway, can contribute to accuracy to some extent, they may not provide the same level of assurance in scaling as using the longest distance available would. Similarly, calibrating ceiling height is more relevant for parameters like signal propagation but does not directly influence the scale of the floor plan itself. Therefore, focusing on the longest available measurement results in a more accurate depiction of the environment, making it the preferred choice for site surveying in RF considerations.
