BRIX Setup Menu
BRIX is important to the quality of the final product. The BRIX menu facilitates
the extraction of a sample of product from the unit for BRIX measurement. There
is an automatic three second dispense of product that produces a constant
volume so that a BRIX comparison can be made between samples. To perform
a BRIX test, perform the procedure in Table 27.
