over-sampling occurs at sample rates of 20 Hz and slower.
Sample Rate
By default, the sensor collects 10 samples per second. It can col-
lect data as fast as 1000 samples per second and as slow as one
sample every four hours. Change the sample rate in DataStudio
or on your datalogger.
Inverted Output
By default, the sensor registers pushing as a positive force and
pulling as a negative force. To register pulling as positive and
pushing as negative, select the Force (Inverted) measurement in
DataStudio or on your datalogger.
