Usually, the instructions are pretty straight up. If you're trying to get it really close, you may have to check your displayed value compared to measuring a known value like a standard or gage block and then calculate a linear error correction.

For general purposes, you can often get away with a partial turn to get rid of backlash, then comparing the displayed value vs. "X" number of turns on your leadscrew multiplied by the distance traveled in one revolution.

That will be a fun project this winter when the weather is craptacular outside.
Imma definitely be picking your brain
