According to Luminary Micro's getting started doc for the Jaguars, the answer is no...

A Depends, but probably not. The Jaguar (MDL-BDC) module does have a calibration mode; however, the need to use
the calibration mode is unnecessary if you are using a cRIO system and a new Jaguar (MDL-BDC)—because the
default parameters of the Jaguar (MDL-BDC) are tuned for use with a cRIO. The calibration mode is provided if you
want to use a Jaguar (MDL-BDC) with another source of Servo (PWM) signal that does not have the same range of
pulse widths (for example, an older robot controller). If you have calibrated your Jaguar (MDL-BDC) from a different
source and move it back to a cRIO system, you will need to recalibrate.
