OK,

NOW, you're ready to consider tension. Spin the wheel and run your thumb nail or a pencil against the spokes listening to the pitch. Don't worry about having them all match, just listen for ones far from the rest, wither high, or more commonly clunkers. Adjust these closer to average compensating with their crossed pairs, and keeping the wheel aligned. Do this in small repetitive sequences feeling and listening for even tension, but always keep the wheel true. (don't forget about dish as you do this)

When you've finished and are pretty happy, it FINALLY time for the tension meter. Measure 2 or 3 spokes on both sides and use the conversion chart to check that the wheel is within the tension target. If you need to add tension overall, always add to the right side first, and expect that the right will need more turns than the left, so use the right to reach 90-95% of your tension goal, then use the left spokes to move the rim back to correct dish as you add the last bit of tension.

Lastly, DO NOT OVERWORK THE WHEEL. Get it good and within acceptable limits and quit when you find yourself tweaking but not seeing improvement.
