calibration weights and calibration digits, and the characteristic curve is determined
immediately. The same applies when you change a weighing module.
Note
Two working points are usually sufficient for determining the scale's characteristic curve. An
additional working point is only required for non-linear systems.
Specification of negative calibration points is not possible. However, the characteristic can also
be used in the negative range down to -2 000 000 digits. To achieve this, the characteristic
curve generated in the positive range is extended into the negative range.
