regauge

Take fresh measurements

To regauge is to gauge again—to remeasure or recalibrate something.

In railway contexts, regauging means converting track or rolling stock from one gauge width to another: The line was regauged from narrow to standard gauge.

The word applies broadly to any situation requiring fresh measurement or adjustment of previously set parameters.
