Blending Station Installation

Use Blending to calculate the optimal mix of different source products and make a specified product. This feature is designed to be as flexible as possible and allow use of multiple sources for the end product. There are three simple steps to blending: First define the number of material sources; next open the Blending Station and define the product to be made; finally open the Blending Calculator to perform or modify the calculation for that product.

To Install the Blending Station

1. Select the End Product category.
2. Select the Blending Station and place it on the worksheet (it will turn blue).
3. Right-click and select Adjust Setup from the short-cut menu.
4. Set the number of blending sources. 5 is the default number (2 minimum, 22 maximum).

5. Track Power and Emission attributes as necessary.
