Pat,
I set the gain for that Load Cell in the calibration conditioner panel to
ZERO. So, if you put in the numbers for the new load cell, the total load
will be ok then.  I just set the load for #10=0 by setting gain=0.

Just remember to set the max output of the strain controllers to zero vs.
3500 lbf.  Good Luck - I think that this will work.
