German term
Verstärkung
Die Waage wird so vorbereitet, daß ein Kalibriergewicht auf-gelegt werden kann.
Am Regler wird das Menü iCAL zur Kalibrierung angewählt (siehe Kapitel 10.1).
Die automatische Kalibrierung darf nicht während des laufenden Betriebs erfolgen! Setzen Sie die Anlage in Wartungsbetrieb!
Ermittlung der Verstärkung:GAIN
Die Empfindlichkeit der Meß- brücke wird über die Verstärkung (Gain) beschrieben.
Über zwei Stützpunkte wird die Verstärkung berechnet. Hierzu wird die Kraftmeßdose mit zwei unterschiedlichen Lasten beauf-schlagt und die Spannung gemessen.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

But then again, \"gain\" could mean \"amplification of a radio signal etc.\". In any case, no harm would be done by calling \"Verstärkung\" by its proper name \"amplification\". That way you could save the word \"gain\" for those instances where it is used in the German text. This way, you could proceed word-for-word in your English translation and write \"amplification (GAIN)\".

The word \"gain\" simply refers to the amount of amplification. http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/society/tec-rep/gff_02.htm
If you are going to translate Verstärkung as \"gain,\" then how do you translate \"Ermittlung der Verstärkung: GAIN\"? Doesn\'t this passage underline the fact that gain is actually the amount of amplication? \"Verstärkung (Gain)\" later on can be translated as \"amplification (gain)\".

: Meinst du hier "Ermittlung der Verstärkung:GAIN" oder hier "die Verstärkung (Gain) beschrieben"?

: Indeed, IMO it is best to leave only 'gain'. The meaning is that sensitivity is expressed through a numerical value characterizing the bridge's amplification (i.e. the gain value).
