How should the MLT1030 Wide Range Force Transducer (10 mg - 1 kg) be configured for use?

The MLT1030 Wide Range Force Transducer (10 mg - 1 kg) is a semi-isometric strain-gauge that uses a stack of five stainless steel leaf springs to measure applied forces.  Four of the leaves can be moved to modify the the transducer's measurement range for a given experiment. The range values for each combination of leaves is listed below:

 

  •  1 Leaf - Range: 10mg - 15g
  •  2 Leaves - Range: 6g - 300g
  •  3 Leaves - Range: 10g - 500g
  •  4 Leaves - Range: 15g - 750g
  •  5 Leaves - Range: 20g - 1000g
