Unit = 0 [lb]

§ Selectable in lb[0], ounces[1], tons[2], Kilograms[3], grams[4], Metric tons[5]

§ Accepting a new unit value changes all the parameters and calibration to the new engineering units.

§ Acceptations are the analog out range settings under options.

Weight Decimal Pt = 3 [3]

§ This is used for the gross weight in the hopper and is used to calculate the rate of change.

§ Select a decimal point level that provides a weighing ratio between of 1: 10,000 to 20,000. Too few decimal points will not provide enough definition to calculate a good rate of change.

§ Example; 400lb scale/10,000 = 0.04 or two decimal points. Change the graduation size to 5 and that places the ratio to 1:20,000.  More
