Once the first formula is finished, the instrument:
- executes the automatic tare
- executes the following formula (in Production Program)
These operations are repeated for all the formula.
At the end, the instrument waits to receive the start of the new dosage, or, in case of various repetitions of
the dosage cycle, restarts automatically with the following cycle.
