Correction of measurement deviation (offset adjustment) With this function, user can adjust deviation between the value measured by the instrument(nondestructive method) and the reference value obtained from squeezed juice. In the measurement mode, press longer than 1 second, then will appear and blinks.
The instrument can save up to 1,000 readings (0~999). In the setup mode, press shortly then stock number will blink (for example ). Then, select the preferred stock number by pressing For the number selected, the measured value will be displayed. Press shortly to return to the home menu.
■ Zero set process by White Teflon built in the head-cover 1. To measure the internal quality of the fruit, the reference material (White Teflon) must be scanned first (zero set process). 2. When the power turns on, the instrument automatically scans the reference material (White Teflon) during its initialization procedure.
