1) if you push your left thumb against the gauge face, so the side edge of your thumb is right where you want the needle to be resting. then when you push the needle base onto its peg, with the other hand, you can have the actual end of the needle against your thumb, so its in the right spot and doesn't bounce around. They are VERY easy to "mount" and have off by a little, since the motor spindle moves so easily

2) Never mind that. Just calibrate it as I said before, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BE CAREFUL!

3) Distal = furthest from the origin. If the base is the origin, that would mean the tip of the needle.
