7.6 Working with the “Formulation” application
This section describes how to work with the “Formulation” application and print the results.
7.6.1 Presettings
The minimum requirement for each formulation is that the 3 function keys “M+”, “Result”
and “CL Result” must be activated (section 7.3.3).
Other function keys must be activated depending on the type of formulation:
For free formulation without using formulae from the database, the “Nominal”, “+Toler-
ance” and “-Tolerance” function keys must also be activated. The corresponding values
can be entered using these keys.
For free formulation, the “ID” function key should be activated so that your formulae and
components can be assigned the desired names. It can also be useful to activate this
function key for automatic formula processing if you want to assign another one or two
custom IDs to your components in addition to the preset IDs (e.g., a lot ID).
If you want to work with components from the component database during free formula-
tion, the “CompDB” function key, which is used to call components from the database,
must also be activated.
To automatically process formulae from the database, the “Recipe” function key, which
is used to call up formulae, must be activated.
Regardless of the type of formulation, we recommend that the “Abs/Diff” function key is
activated. This key can be used at any time to switch the weight display between the quantity
of a component already weighed in and the remaining quantity to be weighed in.
The most important information fields for your application should also be activated
(e.g., “Recipe Name”, “Comp. Name”, “Nominal” and “Comp. ID” for automatic formula
processing, see section 7.3.4).
A printer should be connected to your balance for printing formulations.
