Formulation mode is intended for preparing mixtures in accordance with pre-defined
formulas. It is highly recommended for pharmacies. The software of balance XA/2X series
features calculation memory, therefore it stores mass of each ingredient of a mixture and
sums of weighed ingredients.
While using formulation mode the balance’s display shows and continuously updates
the following data:
1. Mass of a load placed on balance’s weighing pan
2. Name of currently weighed ingredient (max 10 characters)
3. “WGH” Mass to be added while weighing a specific ingredient
4. “IC” Number of ingredients which are already weighed in a prepared mixture
5. “SUM” Sum of ingredients mass which are already weighed in a prepared mixture
