Use the keyword Strain Select the example "Continous Strain Measurement" Now Calibrate as required (suggestions below) You can simulate the force measurement device if you know the construction of the device used to measure the force. By constructing an equivalent resistor network and adding a "Simulation" resitor. Alternatively you can purchase bridge calibration hardware. By weight..... In this instance I suspect some small Lab weights will be required or use Brass Tacks and weigh them on a scale / balance then divide the number of tacks by the weight obtained for the average weight of each tack. Coins would be a suitable alternative !! And you can recycle them afterwards.... well buy a beer to celebrate :)
