Answer

The MP200 is really an introductory unit meant for occasional use.  It can only do Procedure A.  If you have MFI values over 50, you should consider using Procedure B, so you'll need the MP600 and the PPDT-600 option.  PP used a 2.16 kg test load so you'll need a 2,060 gram weight.  PE has several different weight conditions, so you have to select  between a 2.16,5.0 10.0 or 21.6 kg load.  If you would like to discuss it further, please feel free to give me a call.  Thanks for the question.
