You weigh a sample then set the heat temp and timer then reweigh. These are expensive lab devices. Not made for home use.

It is fairly difficult in practice to measure moisture content of a polymer especially for the home DIY'er. Better to just dry the raw material prior to extrusion, if it is a polymer with high moisture sensitivity (like PLA).
