want one cycle to fill/dispense 100 lbs of an ingredient, you
set the Target Weight to 100. Keep in mind that the Units
Parameter is set in another menu. In our example we set the

want to set the Target Preact to start closing/stopping so that
when it closes or stops completely the Target Weight Set
Point is reached.
About Smart Preact
Smart Preact is an automatic function that calculates the
loss-in-weight/gain-in-weight during a cycle to determine if
the Target Preact Set Point is set so that the cycle is within
