COMPONENT PARAMETERS (12 Groups of 13 parameters each)

_TY	(Designates material type for this component)
	_TY is the number that		designates if this Component is used and
what material TYPE it is.
Material TYPES are REGRIND,			NATURAL, ADDITIVE, or NOT USED.
This parameter is		stored as	a 5 digit number but displayed as a three
letter word:
	OFF =	Component	NOT USED,
	REG =	REGRIND,
	NAT =	NATURAL,
	ADD =	ADDITIVE.

Use the "*" key to toggle through these four selections. (All other parameters require input of a 5 digit number.)

The AUTOWEIGH BLENDER handles each DIFFERENTLY in the MATH routines.

REGRIND	(PERCENT OF MIX)
Those components that you			designate REGRIND will	be added as a PERCENT
of the ENTIRE MIX		of material.
NATURAL	(RATIO	TO EACH	OTHER)
Those components that you			designate NATURAL will	be added in the
proportion	that you specify them to each other.			Their actual
percentage	of the	mix will depend on how much Regrind is specified and
how much Additive		is specified.
ADDITIVE	(PERCENT OF ALL NATURALS)
Each component designated			ADDITIVE will be added	as a percentage of all
the NATURALS added together.

If you think of your mix as a RATIO OF WEIGHTS, for example, components 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are to be mixed at 100, 50, 5, 20 and 7 pounds respectively, then you may wish to specify ALL components as NATURALS. In this way weights may be entered just as listed. They need not add up to any particular number. Components will be dispensed to maintain the proper specified RATIO to each other component.

If you wish to think of ALL components as PERCENTAGES of THE MIX, percents that always add up to 100, then you can specify ALL components as REGRIND and enter the exact percent for each. If ALL components are specified as REGRIND, then all settings must add up to 100. If the total exceeds 100, an error message will appear.

However, we recommend that you specify materials this way:

REGRIND; all the materials that DO NOT require the addition of the ADDITIVES. Usually this is your Regrind scrap.

NATURAL; all the materials that are the bulk of the mix. These will be
