Calibrating a Scale/Dyna-Link 2

The MSI-8000 remote display can be used for calibrating MSI ScaleCore-based crane scales and dynamometers,
including MSI-3460 Challenger 3, MSI-4260 Port-A-Weigh or MSI-7300 Dyna-Link 2.
They can be calibrated using standard precision test weights. It is required that the weight used is at least 10% of
full capacity in order to achieve rated accuracy.
When adequate test weights are not available, the scale/dynalink can be calibrated using a constant calibration 
() See Section 5.1.2.
If the linked scale/Dyna-Link is sealed for NTEP approval, the seal will need to be broken and the calibration
switch on the linked scale/Dyna-Link will need to be pressed for the MSI-8000 to perform the calibration.

Initial Calibration

Initial calibration is used to setup units, capacity and resolution (d) required for the load cell.
Initial calibration is also performed after a calibration reset which deletes all calibration.
