Once the weight is steady, click OK to begin the calibration. Do not hold the weight. It must be free
standing.
Once the device has been successfully calibrated, a page will be displayed requesting that the individual
who completed the calibration enter their name. This can be done either manually or, if your name exists
as a supervising practitioner in the database page, it will appear in the drop down menu.
Pinch Grip Calibration
Please ensure that the Pinch Grip is plugged into PORT 5 on the Data Acquisition Box.
After selecting the manual calibration option and the tool you wish to calibrate, the following page will
appear.
This page allows you to calibrate the Pinch Grip manually. It lists the last day of successful calibration (in
this case it was never done), the type of calibration and the directions involved in manual calibration. In
order to calibrate, you must first locate the correct attachments for the Pinch Grip.
The first step in manual calibration of the Pinch Grip is to place the Pinch Grip inside the calibration block
as above. Click OK to indicate that no force is being applied. Place the calibration tool through the block,
as above, and apply a minimum weight of 10 pounds.
