An input of weight as grams (1), ounces (2) or pounds (3) will output

1 : grams, will output kg with set precision when output value is above 1000 gr
2 : ounces
3 : pounds
4 : auto_us, outputs anything under 16oz as ounces and as pounds if greater or equal than 16 oz
5 : mixed_us, outputs whole pound units as pounds with remaining weight trailing as ounces

Set precision parameter to indicate number of decimals in the returned response. The function will only return decimals for ounces when using mixed_us output format.

Separator:

1 : Inserts a tab character to separate values and legends
2 : Inserts carriage return to separate values and legends
# : Set any text in quotes to add as separator ( " " : for space)
