Step 6 - This step verifies that the calibration was performed
correctly. The Force Chamber reading should be 9.81 ± 0.1
mN. If the Force Chamber reading is off by more than 0.1 mN
then remove the weight, press BACK to return to step 4, and
repeat the calibration process.
Press NEXT STEP if the Force Chamber reading is satisfactory.
After calibrating the force transducer, carefully remove weight,
T-balance and calibration bridge. The Pressure Myograph
System is now ready for longitudinal force measurements.

3.7.2.1 Set-up the pressure calibration procedure
Press Settings in the Main Menu and then press Pressure Calibration. The set-up to perform the pressure
transducer calibration procedure is illustrated in figure 3.2. Carefully follow the procedure described
below to calibrate the Pressure Myograph System. The calibration procedure is listed in 5 individual steps
and needs to be performed one at a time to calibrate the system.
