If the weights are an intact set then one can weigh, with considerable precision, any amount by placing the object to be weighed on one pan of the balance scales and then placing one or more weights on the other side, in increasing magnitudes until the pans balance.

It may be necessary to add one or more weights to the side containing the object being weighed to achieve stability. Then by subtracting the weights on that side from the weights on the other, one can calculate the weight of the object.

When weighing liquids or large quantities of loose material, remember to weigh the empty container first and to subtract that value at the end of th weighing, to get the weight of what is contained.

What is the function of a set of weights?

The function of a set of weights is to help you gain strength. Lifting weights is a good way to get into shape. ++ As the question is in "Physics" does it refer to scale "weights"? If so these are reference masses against which the mass of the sample is measured. They are made in a series so a wide range of masses may be weighed.
