Example return strings:
-18.78 lbFin<CR><LF> 18.78 lbFin of counter-clockwise torque
4.285 Nm<CR><LF> 4.285 Nm of clockwise torque
The number of digits after the decimal point is dependent of the gauge’s capacity and resolution.

can affect the readings. Suitable certified calibration equipment is required, and caution should be taken
while handling such equipment.
The illustration below depicts a recommended vertical setup:
