Tightening direction	In the drop-down list, select the tightening direction for the inspection: Clockwise. Counterclockwise. Default value: Clockwise.
Torque correction coefficient	Type the torque correction coefficient to be applied for the inspection. If no extension is being used, the Torque correction coefficient must be 1. Value range: 0.10 - 99.99. Default value: 1. For more information, refer to How to calculate the Torque Correction Coefficient.
Angle correction coefficient	Type the angle correction coefficient to be applied for the inspection. If no extension is being used, the Angle correction must be 0. Value range: 0.0 - 6553.0. Default value: 0.0. For more information, refer to How to Calculate the Angle Correction.
Open Protocol ID	Type the open protocol ID or tap on the Search icon to automatically fill the field.
