14.7 Formulation Mode
This function is convenient for weighing in the components of a formulation. The mass of
each component is displayed and stored Every time a component is added and [PRINT]
key is pressed, the mass of that component is output through RS-232C or DATA I/O
interface and the display will be automatically zeroed. When all the components have been
weighed, the masses are summed up and the total mass is displayed and output by pressing
[POWER] key.
Select menu item 51 .
(Operation)
1. When Formulation Mode is ON, the display
stands at Formulation stand-by status upon entering
the mass display. Add-on symbol, Memory symbol

2. Press [PRINT] key. When external device is
connected, “------ FORMULATION MODE ------”
will be output.
3. Load the first component and press [PRINT] key.
Upon stability is detected at a value higher than five
times Zero Range, the mass value will be output with
a numbering “CMP001 =”. The display will be
automatically zeroed after that.
4. Repeat step 3 until all the components have been
weighed.
5. Press [POWER] key.
The total mass will be displayed and output to
external devices with a remark “TOTAL =”.
