Are you permitted to weigh Maror on Pesach night?

Question

Are you permitted to use a mechanical scale to weigh the correct Shiur of Maror on Seder night?

Weight is probably not what you are looking for anyway judaism.stackexchange.com/q/6920/759 — Double AA, Mar 25, 2013 at 22:36
@DoubleAA According to those positions whom require about 25 grams of Maror, can one use the scale? lol Thanks! — RCW, Mar 25, 2013 at 22:41
Like I indicated above most opinions hold that measurements are by volume not mass. So none of them (including prety much all ashkenazim) hold that marror is measured in grams. — Double AA, Mar 25, 2013 at 22:46
@DoubleAA Many sephardim go by weight, even though the halacha is by volume, weight is easier to measure. And the shiurim given for weight is much more than a kzayit would be anyways of either matzah or marror. — avi, Mar 26, 2013 at 18:01

The Shulchan Aruch (306:7) rules that though one can generally not measure things on Shabbat and Yom Tov, one can do so for the purposes of a Mitzva.
