When FIRST time dispense, (DATA line 3), does not equal FINAL dispense,
(DATA line 1), one or more retries have occurred.

short for no good reason.
shortage error is necessary to force a retry.
FLOW RATE NUMBERS: (DATA line 2)
Check the RATE numbers, (DATA line 2), to determine each dispense
device.
In the example above:
In the REGRIND column, 18224 and 976 translate to 1822.4 grams in 4
seconds (244 interrupts = 1 sec), or 455.6 grams per second, typical
for a regrind flowing through 3" round or 2"x3" dispense valves.
In the NATURAL column, 19993 and 488 indicate 1999.3 grams in 2
seconds, or 999.6 grams per second flow rate.

In the COLOR column, 12973 and 31232 indicate 1297.3 grams per 31232
interrupts, or 128 seconds, for a flow rate of 9.99 grams per second.
This is a 1 inch auger feeder, from which we would typically expect
about 8 grams per second.
delivering about 16 grams per second.
In the ADDITIVE column, 10240 and 31232 indicate a flow rate of 8 grams

are, in fact, the "default" settings from when the blender was first
installed, we know that "Additive" has never been run on this blender,
or at least not since the last "CLEAR ALL" was performed.
DATA line 3 dispense weight of 0.0 for additive, and the TOP-OF-PAGE
heading showing Additive set to 00.0 percent also confirm that Additive
is not being run.
The following information will help you determine what devices are in
place on a blender.
