Its already there. just press all 4 buttons and the on switch at the same time - then multiply the shown figure by 10 and you have the shots pulled - over 7 seconds thought.
Thanks! I didn't see it in the manual (Too much coffee????? lol). Was that in the manual (OK so I finally read all the posts SRI)? I really did RTFM (read the FINE manual ;-).

Don't forget to stop and smell the coffee...... er flowers!
I dose 18g for a double. I do the 4 direction "Rake" ala Gail @ SCG's video and Tony @ Mtropolis. I then tamp with the supplied tamper and polish with 2 90 deg twists.
If I grind it right and the stars are aligned correctly I get a perfect shot with very little wasted Cafe'.
OBTW I use a Baratza Vario Grinder. YMMV

Your scale is probably just fine. You do lose some with each pull when you do the rake. The 18-19 g is to ensure that you get a level shot when you do the "rake" so that you can achieve a good tamp.
There are videos at Gail and Kat's site and also at Metropolis coffee's site. Let me know if you need any links to them.
Try reducing it to 17-18g and see how you like it. I rake mine over a small saucer so that I can catch it to use on the next shot, to fill it out, if needed. (Yes, good beans/roasts are $$$$ ;-)
I dump any leftovers after my "caffine session" is done.

i just started the 19grams and just runned out of beans hehehehe i weight and grind the beans with the vario, so its pre weighted beans straight to the PF so i dont stock beans in the hopper and i know im getting whats weighted.
coffee is expensive here so i have to count every bean so to speak hehehehe
the 19g is acceptable in the double. my technigue is to use a sort of guard so the grounds dont fall out of the pf while dosing. while its dosing it tap tha pf.
after dosing i distribute and it just fills everything up just right
then tamp and polish
the 19grams fits ok, i dont want to test the 20g i dont want to waste beans hehehehe i just did the 19g because of bubbadude
I use one of these neat Orphan Espresso funnels to make sure all of my measured coffee gets into my portafilter: Click Here (www.orphanespresso.com) Then I tap the portafilter to settle the grounds, remove the funnel, and tamp.
