5.4 Custom unit
Custom unit allows the creation of your own custom weighing units. It permits entering a conversion factor which the
balance will use to convert grams to the desired unit of measure. Custom Units are stored in the Library. Values for
up to fifteen different custom units can be entered.
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)
