Page 13: Using The Target Value
USING THE TARGET VALUE This function works in conjunction with the piece counting feature and allows your scale to act as a checkweigher. This is useful if you are filling a container with a pre-determined amount of items. To use, you must enter a target value. For example, if you wish to fill a bottle with 100 items you would set your target value to 100. -
