Force calibration
The analog input and analog output can be used for force control in terms of kN or lbf when
they have been calibrated.

IN Point 1
mV
0 - 10000
Analog input (point 1)
IN Point 1
kN/lbf
Measured input force (point 1)
IN Point 2
mV
0 - 10000
Analog input (point 2)
IN Point 2
kN/lbf
Measured input force (point 2)
The relationship between the analog input and output and the electrode force can be
determined by measuring the values at two points. The values define a linear relationship
between mV and kN/lbf.
The force can be independently calibrated for each electrode.
