This setting should not be modified except by the developer except under unusual
circumstances.

Feed Algorithm Options Screen
This screen allows the user to configure how the blender metering algorithm works. The user
can adjust the Initial percentage of Target to Meter, the Allowed Underfeed value, the
number of retries before Double Gate Time, the allowed Weight/Sec Drop, and the Out of
Material retry limit.

Feed Calibration Options Screen
This screen allows you to perform the feeder calibrations for each feeder (in weight per
second). This is useful when the feed calibration is giving you an error message (most
commonly caused by overfilling the hopper during the calibration). Select a feeder and then
follow instructions. An error is shown if the current feeder calibration feed time was too
short, the feed time was too long, or if the hopper weight exceeded 110% of the set batch
weight. In the case that the feeder exceeded 110% (maximum hopper weight) due to a high
rate hopper then the “Batch % for Feeder Cal” setting might be set too high. Consult the
manufacturer if this problem arises. The current feeder calibration values are also shown on
this page. It is not necessary to perform feeder calibrations. The blender will
automatically learn these values during the batch.
