The gauge can be calibrated at up to 10 points in each direction. Enter the number of calibration
points for each direction (compression and tension). At least one point must be selected for each
direction.
Note: To achieve the accuracy specification of ±0.1%, it is recommended to calibrate the gauge
at 5 or more even increments in both tension and compression directions. For example, a gauge
with capacity of 10 lbF should be calibrated at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 lb loads in each direction.
