I'm not sure I follow. Every wide band has a startup routine (whether you're made aware of it or not is another matter). It's the nature of the beast. The probe needs to heat the probe before getting accurate readings.

Calibration of the probe doesn't happen until you push the button to calibrate it.

In another way to look at it, where the narrow band is a passive sensor, where the wide band is an active sensor.
