You guys are mixing up force and power engineering units of measure. It’s a little upsetting to me as a professional calibrator.
You will also need to measure distance and time to complete the power calculation. P=(FD)/T
Be sure to take a few runs at the measurement, discard the data, reset the load measuring device to zero force, then record last run. This will remove hysteresis from the load train and the sensor/scale.

Seriously, thank you for the knowledge-based feedback with a formula-- great!

And, if you're the same Norm that is able to take a drive bisecting Detroit's 'burbs in order to walk-into P&D Hobby rather than pay shipping charges-- I'm feeling, "Wish I could do that!" This is especially true due to having been raised in Detroit and having been able to combine a trip to P&D with my commute to Metro Beach where I Life Guarded "100 years ago."
