5.1 Configuration
5.1.1 Setting force limits
The configuration of the microprocessor unit is done by adjusting the text files, saved on the SD-card.
There are two files saved:
Config.txt: Is not allowed to be changed.
config.txt
Values.txt:
Here parameters can be assigned to the needed limits, the sequence of numbers is described below. It is recommended to set
the force limits to nominal force of the load cell, can be changed afterwards.
For finishing the configuration, the RESET button must be pushed for five seconds while the device turns on. After that the limits
have been set from values.txt.

load cell capacity, one force limit (only one value for upper and lower limit) and a forcefactor to multiplictae the
measured force has to be set.

additionally there is the possibility to set various outer force limits (under and over zero-point), where alerting takes
place if the value is passed only once. Moreover, an inner force limit can be set in each direction, it is monitored the pass of an
average out of an number of values (adjustable).

After that a calibration has to take place.
Without calibration, there are wrong trigger limits. The correct operation is no longer guaranteed and there can be
malfunctions, so that there can be danger for machine and human.
