I'm sorry but I've only dealt with the Melamine liquid in the test kits -- mixing 7 ml of pool water with 7 ml of CYA reagent (melamine) and measuring turbidity through the calibrated tube to see when the black dot vanishes.

I'm going to take a wild stab at this, but if the tablets are just solid melamine or even solid sodium acetate, then you would crush them up in distilled water (though tap water would probably be OK since it doesn't have CYA in it) and would then mix equal parts of this with your pool water (where you neutralize your pool water first by mixing it with a couple of drops of sodium thiosulfate) and then use the calibrated tube to measure CYA. It doesn't really matter how many tablets you use so long as it is enough to combine with all of the CYA you have. So to be safe, you can try crushing up more than one. Of course, if you do all of this and you come up with a crazy number inconsistent with what you measured before, then I was wrong.
