    <section>This calculator can be invoked either from the New Android Virtual Device Instance dialog (the final dialog
      you see when creating a new AVD from the Device Management view) or from the AVD properties (right-click an AVD in
      the Device Management view, select <uicontrol>Properties</uicontrol>, and then in the Properties dialog navigate
      to <menucascade><uicontrol>Android Virtual Device</uicontrol><uicontrol>Startup
      Options</uicontrol></menucascade>). Simply click <uicontrol>Calculate</uicontrol> next to either the <uicontrol
        >Screen Resolution (dpi)</uicontrol> or <uicontrol>Scale</uicontrol> options to display the calculator. Once you
      have entered the necessary values into the calculator, click <uicontrol>OK</uicontrol> to close the calculator and
      copy the calculated values to the appropriate startup options.</section>

          <stentry><uicontrol>Device Screen Size (in)</uicontrol></stentry>
          <stentry>The screen size (diagonal), in inches, of the device being emulated. This information is generally
            included on the device specification sheet.</stentry>

          <stentry><uicontrol>Monitor Screen Resolution</uicontrol></stentry>
          <stentry>The pixel density or screen size (diagonal) of your development computer's display. Either click
              <uicontrol>Value (dpi)</uicontrol> and supply your monitor's density (in pixels per inch), or click
              <uicontrol>Based on Monitor Size (in)</uicontrol> and specify your monitor's size (the diagonal
            measurement) in inches. It is important to note that when supplying a monitor size you only specify the
            actual viewable display size; do not include the bezel.</stentry>
