load and some test stand, you may calibrate it also.
Mount the force gauge.
Remove the tare by use of the key .
Enter Calibration interface and the calibration interface is
shown as following.
Load a standard force. Now the value in standard input area
is just equal to the current measured value. Wait a moment
for the force stability.
1. Calibration times
