2.1.1.5 Load Cell Status Indicator The Load Cell Status Indicator shows the full scale load capacity of the connected load cell sensor. The load cell symbol changes color to Yellow or Red depending on the sensor’s measured load versus its full scale capacity. Selecting the Load Cell Status Indicator displays the sensor’s characteristics, including its Overload History. All Starrett load cell sensors are compliant with IEEE 1451.4 (TEDS). These sensors are “plug & play”, e.g. your Starrett system automatically recognizes the sensor and its characteristics and performance specifications.
2.1.1.6 Limits Indicator During an active test run, an indicator will typically appear above or below the measured value in the Controller view. For example, if the active test step is “go to a compression load of 25N” a limit indicator will appear above the measured load value showing the target load of 25N.
Shows the current load being measured by load cell sensor.
Shows the target load limit is for compression.
Shows the target load limit for this test step, e.g. 25N

When the Overload History displays an overload event with a date that doesn’t appear plausible, it indicates that a load cell overload occurred when the L3 software was not active, e.g. not launched during the overload event. A load cell sensor can be overloaded by an operator over-deflecting the sensor. Light capacity load cell sensors can be overloaded simply by improper handling. Load cell sensors can also be overloaded by improper use of the jog switch, which can cause the load cell to be forced against a hard stop.
