Weight Configuration 

The weight configuration screen sets the weight values and positions within the LMI operation. 
When setup correctly, the system will alert the operator where to place the weight fork 
depending on the test procedures’ defined test weight. An installation guide accompanies all 
weight system shipments showing how to install the physical weights in the LMFI.
