When the measured LOAD reaches the assigned TRIGGER value, the probe speed is changed to
the assigned SPEED from the Target Hold setup screen. As the probe approaches the target load
atthepre-assignedspeed,therewillbeaxeddecelerationalgorithmthatreducesthespeedofthe
probe until it reaches the target load, based on a percentage of the load cell full scale. Therefore,
the pre-assigned probe speed only represents the maximum allowable speed. For example, if the
