#### DISABLE_FILAMENT_WIDTH_LOG
`DISABLE_FILAMENT_WIDTH_LOG`: Turn off diameter logging.
+### [load_cell]
+
+The following commands are enabled if a
+[load_cell config section](Config_Reference.md#load_cell) has been enabled.
+
+### LOAD_CELL_DIAGNOSTIC
+`LOAD_CELL_DIAGNOSTIC [LOAD_CELL=<config_name>]`: This command collects 10
+seconds of load cell data and reports statistics that can help you verify proper
+operation of the load cell. This command can be run on both calibrated and
+uncalibrated load cells.
+
+### LOAD_CELL_CALIBRATE
+`LOAD_CELL_CALIBRATE [LOAD_CELL=<config_name>]`: Start the guided calibration
+utility. Calibration is a 3 step process:
+1. First you remove all load from the load cell and run the `TARE` command
+1. Next you apply a known load to the load cell and run the
+`CALIBRATE GRAMS=nnn` command
+1. Finally use the `ACCEPT` command to save the results
+
+You can cancel the calibration process at any time with `ABORT`.
+
+### LOAD_CELL_TARE
+`LOAD_CELL_TARE [LOAD_CELL=<config_name>]`: This works just like the tare button
+on digital scale. It sets the current raw reading of the load cell to be the
+zero point reference value. The response is the percentage of the sensors range
+that was read and the raw value in counts.
+
+### LOAD_CELL_READ load_cell="name"
+`LOAD_CELL_READ [LOAD_CELL=<config_name>]`:
+This command takes a reading from the load cell. The response is the percentage
+of the sensors range that was read and the raw value in counts. If the load cell
+is calibrated a force in grams is also reported.

### [heaters]
The heaters module is automatically loaded if a heater is defined in
