RE: not "powerup"

["Lauren" <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

Do you realize that the "powerup" part of the sentence is not the only
problem here?

This is the type of passage that I would flag with a bright "RW" to mean
rewrite.  My guess from this passage is that the "system" is a computer
application and the "Kalman filter solution" is something that needs to
happen before a user can use the system to analyze it or in some other way
process it.  So, I will attempt a rewrite based on my knowledge-limited
guess.

"Wait for the Kalman filter solution to converge before using the system to
achieve the accuracies in the table."
