22.3. Adding Formulation to Formulations Database
Formulation database contains formulations names, ingredients names and their weight.
Each product used for formulation making process is saved to the database of products.
When preparing a formulation, first name it, next add ingredients. The software is intuitive
and you are guided by means of respective messages. Make sure you know complete recipe
as it is necessary to specify name and weight of each mixture ingredient. Formulations
database menu has been designed to enable adding formulations.
Procedure:
•
Enter < Databases> submenu and press < Formulations> button.
•
Press < Add> button to add a new formulation.
A new record is automatically added to the database, it is opened in an editing mode. Enter
necessary data.
List of parameters defined for a formulation:
1. Name: click name button, new window opens, enter formulation name.
2. Code: click code button, enter code number.
3. Ingredients: click ingredients button, list of formulation ingredients is displayed
(for new formulation the list is empty), add the ingredients:
•
Press < Add> button.
•
Select one of available options:
<New ingredient> - select to add a new product, first enter name, next specify
mass to be weighed during formulation making process. The software automatically
adds the products to the products database.
CAUTION:
In order to enter remaining product data it is necessary to go to product database.
<New ingredient from database>
- select to view a list of database-stored
products, choose the product you need for your mixture, the software weighs as
much product/ingredient as specified by product database mass parameter.
Mass value can be edited and modified for each added product. The introduced
modifications do not affect mass value saved to the database.
4. Ingredients quantity: parameter disabled for editing updated by the software upon
adding an ingredient to a formulation.
5. Sum: target mass of a formulation, i.e. sum of all formulation ingredients,
parameter disabled for editing, updated by the software upon adding an
ingredient to a formulation.
22.4. Using Formulations in Weighing
Upon running FORMULATIONS mode, you can prepare the mixture either manually or by
selecting formulation from the database.
Mixture preparation options:
−
formulation not recorded in the Formulation Database – manual preparation,
−
formulation recorded in the Formulation Database,
−
formulation recorded in the Formulation Database – using multiplier function,
−
formulation recorded in the Formulation Database – determining target mass of
complete formulation.
