    Calibrating FX Chronograph to match LMBR - is it possible?

    hi all.

    Wet bank holiday afternoon problem/ query, sitting in the garage.... and yes I know that not all chronos are created equally .

    I would like to adjust the FX to read the same as the LMBR as it is the easier as their is a calibration option in the advanced settings. Any maths geniuses out there to work out what -% I need to adjust the FX ( maximum adjustment +/-2%). No point having this option if I'm, not going to use it. I have tried going up in .5 increments but that is just wasting pellets so going down the mathematical route.

    LMBR reads 7.6ft/lbs, FX reads 7.8 ft/lbs.

    shots fired through the LMBR which is directly over the FX

    Its not a major issue as they are all within legal limits, just want to see if its possible.

    you need to comapre the measured velocities... not the power output, then just divide one by the other to get the %

    however, as power is proportional to the square of velocity, the adjustment is the square root of 0.2/7.8 so about 1.6% probably
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
