    Remember to assign product to particular mode, as some of data values are adopted to the particular mode functions, e.g. mass in <Percent Weighing> mode is accepted as reference mass, whereas mass in <Parts Counting> mode is accepted as single part mass. When a particular product is used for different modes then its weight, taken from product data, is associated with different data for these modes.
