6.7 Custom units
Custom unit allows the creation of your own custom weighing unit. It permits entering a conversion
factor which the Moisture Analyzer will use to convert grams to the desired unit of measure. The custom
unit is available under the Test Parameters menu, Display settings. When the Moisture Analyzer is
completely set up and running a test, you have the option under the Display to view % Moisture, %
Solids, % Regain, Grams or Custom Unit.
Conversion Factor x Weight in grams = Weight in custom unit
Conversion factors are expressed in scientific notation and entered into the balance in three parts:
1. a number between 0.1 and 1.999999 called the mantissa
2. a power of 10 called the exponent
3. a least significant digit (LSD)

123.4 = .1234 x 1000 = .1234 x 10 3
12.34 = .1234 x 100 = .1234 x 10 2
1.234 = .1234 x 10 = .1234 x 10 1
.1234 = .1234 x 1 = .1234 x 10 0
.01234 = .1234 x .1 = .1234 x 10 -1
.001234 = .1234 x .01 = .1234 x 10 -2
.000123 = .123 x .001 = .123 x 10 -3
