Question on setting tracking force on SME V tonearm

68.116.85.146

I noticed that when my dealer installed the cartridge on my SME V tonearm he just used a weighing scale and adjusted the balance thumbwheel till he arrived on the recommended
tracking force. He didn't use the the VTF dial . Is this the correct way?
TIA
