How to set Underweight Threshold, Overweight Threshold, Aux Threshold

• Underweight Threshold: Any load reading below this will trigger an Underweight Alarm

• Overweight Threshold: Any load reading above this will trigger an Underweight Alarm

• Aux Weight Threshold: This is a "safe weight" or "soft threshold" between Underweight and Overweight that can be used as another visual reference. Spikemark registers this is either above or below Aux Weight.
