    Select options, initialise variables and initiate accel calibration
    Options:
    Fit Type:       Will assume that if accelerometer static samples around all possible orientatio
                    are spread in space will cover a surface of AXIS_ALIGNED_ELLIPSOID or any general 
                    ELLIPSOID as chosen

    Num Samples:    Number of samples user should will be gathering, please note that with type of surface
                    chosen the minimum number of samples required will vary, for instance in the case of AXIS
                    ALIGNED ELLIPSOID atleast 6 distinct samples are required while for generic ELLIPSOIDAL fit
                    which will include calculation of offdiagonal parameters too requires atleast 8 parameters
                    to form a distinct ELLIPSOID

    Sample Time:    Time over which the samples will be gathered and averaged to add to a single sample for least
                    square regression

    offset,diag,offdiag: initial parameter values for LSQ calculation

  The sample acceptance distance is determined as follows:

       theta = arccos(cos(A)/(1-cos(A)))
 
  Where:
