Setting a Sensor to Zero
You can set the standing value of some sensors to zero. You cannot set
sensors in which relative measurements such as force, motion, and pressure
are common to zero. Sensors designed to measure specific environmental
conditions, such as Temperature, pH, and CO
2
also cannot be set to zero.
1. Click Meter view to display the connected and offline sensors.
2. Click the sensor that you want to set to zero.
3. In the Meter Settings dialog box, click Zero.
Reversing a Sensor's Readings
By default, pulling with a force sensor produces a positive force and pushing
produces a negative force. Reversing the sensor allows you to display pushing
as a positive force.
1. Click Meter view to display the connected and offline sensors.
2. Click the sensor that you want to reverse.
3. In the Meter Settings dialog box, click Reverse Readings.
The sensor display is now reversed. In Meter View, the reverse indicator
appears after the sensor name.
