Make sure the jaws are free of obstructions and tap the OK button to continue, which will return you to the ma in control screen while the calibra tion
ta kes pla ce. This process is automatic, the tensile displa ys will change to 'Cal' vers ions while this is happening, as below:
While these readings show 'DCal' and 'FCal' do not operate the stage, the readings will revert to norma l once the ca libration is complete and the
system is ready for us e.
