Please help with old sartorius universal

A910D9A0-1127-4C16-AB22-56046B2BCE3C.jpeg Was going through my late grandfather’s reloading room and came across this sartorius universal. It currently only reads in .1 grams. Is this what it’s capable of? Can it be switched to grains or add a decimal somehow? Seems like .1 grams is about 1.54 grains so not really enough precision for reloading. He loaded for .222 and some long range br calibers so I’m assuming he was weighing more precisely than this.

The only buttons I see are on/off, cal, print and the big red T button which seems to tare
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

I bet he used it to weigh guns. Like Dusty said, not near good enough for powder. Matt
 
That looks like the one used at matches to insure class weight rulesA nd at fishing tournaments.
Interesting find.
