tension provides a positive output signal and compression a negative signal. If
a tension force provides a negative signal (and vice-versa), the user should
either switch the signal leads or make appropriate adjustments to the signal
conditioning.
Before going to the field, Campbell Scientific highly
recommends that a simple validation be performed by the user to
ensure that signal conditioning, gains, and calibration factors are
being properly applied.

Strain Transducers – Appendix B”
on some of the things to look out for while
running your own calibration verification.
