tunable
Able to calibrate
Tunable describes something that can be adjusted or calibrated to achieve desired performance.
A tunable radio allows selecting different frequencies.
In technology, tunable parameters can be modified to optimize a system: The algorithm has several tunable settings.
Musicians speak of tunable instruments—those capable of being brought to correct pitch.
The spelling tuneable also appears.
