10.4 Read Calibration Info Command

{
uint8 command;
uint8 reserved[19];
}

10.5 Read Calibration Info Response

{
uint16 header;
uint8
uint8
uint32 countsPerForce;
uint32 countsPerTorque;
uint16 scaleFactors[6];
}
The status code is the upper 16 bits of the 32-bit status code.
The force and torque values in the response are equal to (actual ft value * calibration counts per unit / 16-
bit scaling factor). The counts per unit and scaling factor are read using the read calibration information
command , or viewed from the sensor's Configuration webpage
(config.htm)). These values are dependent on the sensor's model and calibration size. It is best practice to
read them off the sensor, not hard code them into the user software.
The force unit codes are:
1: Pound
2: Newton
3: Kilopound
4: Kilonewton
5: Kilogram
6: Gram
The torque unit codes are:
1: Pound-inch
2: Pound-foot
3: Newton-meter
4: Newton-millimeter
5: Kilogram-centimeter
6: Kilonewton-meter
