If “CUSTOM” unit is selected, the balance will prompt for entering a multiplier by
displaying
“MULTIPLIER X,XXX”
, where
“X,XXX”
is the last stored value. Any value
ranging from 0.001 to 9.999 may be entered, by which the weight in grams will be
multiplied before being displayed. If a multiplier of greater than 1.000 is entered,
the number of decimal places displayed will be reduced by one. This multiplier value
will be saved for the next use till it is changed by the user.
It is possible to set the balance to display only grams. Grams will always be one of
the units enabled, by default.
The balance displays the alternate weighing units with as much precision as
possible. For example, the 4000g x 0.1g balance could weigh up to:
