Formulation
Purpose: This application is used to weigh while adding several components consecutively.
The balance is tared automatically after each component. The weight values
of all individual components as well as the total weighing results are recorded
and can be logged. The weight values and the component counter are saved in pro-
tected memory so that an interrupted formulation process can be continued after
the balance has been turned off or after a power failure. You can save a maximum
of 65,535 components.
Combination options: Mass unit conversion, second tare memory and individual identifiers (SQmin func-
tion, DKD measurement uncertainty)
Options: The program allows seven different formulations.
1) Fixed formulation in grams: Number of components and the weight portion
of each component (in g) are fixed.
2) Fixed formulation in % with total = 100%, total weight is entered: Number
of components and the percentage of each component (in g) are fixed. The total
weight is entered when the task is started. If the percentages do not add up to 100,
the individual values are converted to 100%.
Example: Number of components nDef =3; component 1 = 25%, component
2 = 30%, component 3 = 10%; components, total = 65% is set equal to 100%.
Component 1: 25%/65% * 100 = 38.46%; Component 2: 30%/65% * 100 = 46.15%;
Component 3: 10%/65% * 100 = 15,38%
3) Fixed formulation in % with total = 100%, total weight is calculated accord-
ing to the first component: Number of components and the percentage of each
component (in g) are fixed. If the percentages do not add up to 100, the individual
values are converted to 100% (cf. Formulation 2) After weighing the first compo-
nent, the total weight (100%) is calculated.
4) Fixed formulation in % with total <> 100%, total weight is entered: Number
of components and the percentage of each component (in g) are fixed. If the total
of percentages does not equal 100, the individual values are not converted. The
total weight is entered, for each component, the user-defined weight and the per-
centage are displayed before weighing.
5) Fixed formulation in % with total = 100%, total weight is calculated accord-
ing to the first component: Number of components and the percentage of each
component (in g) are fixed. If the percentages do not add up to 100, the individual
values are converted to 100%. For the first component, the user-defined weight
is displayed before weighing in percent. After weighing the first component,
the total weight (100%) is calculated. Before weighing any other component,
the respective user-defined weight is displayed in g and %.
6) Variable formulation in grams, component count are in a fixed order:
Before weighing the first component, you can change the number of components;
before weighing each component you can change its name.
7) Variable formulation in grams, component count are in a fixed order:
Before weighing the first component, you can zero the number of components;
before weighing each component you can change its name.
