French translation:réglage
Explanation:
En fonction de l'application plage de réglage s'étend de -5 % à + 5 % par rapport au réglage par défaut (réglage d'usine). Comme il s'agit d'une valeur d'intensité électrique, le terme approprié est "réglage" contrairement à "calage" qui me semble mieux approprié à l’industrie mécanique.
Set trim using digits from 0–9. : Ajuster le réglage numériquement sur une échelle de 0 à 9.

Explanation:
'trim' here means you can adjust the figure to be exactly right — 'caler'

It means 'adjust finely' to achieve a certain setting (end result)

Like 'caler' a radio to a certain frequency.

Note that, for reasons best known to the author, the source text does not use the term 'offset'

Or even, of course 'ajustage'.
