00:00:01.867 --> 00:00:06.312
You will need to set the baseline value to zero.

00:00:06.428 --> 00:00:10.476
If you are using the teaching force transducer or Bridge Amp:

00:00:10.531 --> 00:00:14.817
Select Zero Inputs on the data panel.

00:00:14.862 --> 00:00:21.087
Select Start to check the baseline is now at zero.

00:00:21.112 --> 00:00:25.755
Select Stop.

00:00:25.901 --> 00:00:28.750
If you are using the Bridge Pod:

00:00:28.828 --> 00:00:33.489
Select Start to record in the data panel.

00:00:33.514 --> 00:00:39.088
Use the knob on the front of the Bridge Pod to zero the signal.

00:00:39.167 --> 00:00:42.709
Select Stop.

00:00:44.757 --> 00:00:51.016
Select Start to record for 5 s with no weight on the force transducer.

00:00:51.148 --> 00:00:55.428
Hang a known weight (between 5 and 10 g) from the force transducer.

00:00:55.921 --> 00:01:03.705
Allow the weight to settle and keep recording
for another 5 seconds, then select Stop.

00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:10.922
Use the region selector to highlight a stable region of the recording
before the weight was added.

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.000
Select the arrow next to Value 1 in the Units Calibration panel.

00:01:14.149 --> 00:01:17.629
This is your baseline value, which corresponds to zero millinewtons (mN).

00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:21.620
Use the region selector to highlight a stable region of the recording
after the weight was added.

00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:25.416
Select the arrow next to Value 2 in the Units Calibration panel.

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:36.172
To work out the Force (mN) for Value 2 use the Conversion table.

00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:41.777
Enter the calculated value for your weight in
millinewtons (mN) into the box for Value 2.

00:01:41.895 --> 00:01:43.865
Select Calibrate.

00:01:44.048 --> 00:01:47.632
Now your Force channel should show the units mN, not mV.
