appears, press 

YES

 to accept the Ramp menu, or

 to 

advance to the Expand menu item.

 

The Ramp value is displayed as a percent of the A/D range. 
Press 

YES

 to advance to the Service Linearity Calibration menu item. 

Note:

 Ramp is used to troubleshoot load cell problems.  0% represents 

no signal from the A/D, 100% reflects the upper signal range of the 
A/D.

B.4  Service Linearity Calibration 

This calibration method uses three points. The full-calibration point is 
established with a weight on the scale. The mid-calibration point is 
established with a weight equal to half of the full calibration weight on 
the scale. The zero calibration point is established with no weight on 
the scale. The mid-calibration points cannot be altered by the user 
during the calibration procedure.

 

 

When 

LIN

 appears, press YES to accept the Service Linearity 

Calibration menu, or No to advance to the Ramp menu item.
