A&D BM-252 - 11 ID Number and GLP Report; Setting the ID Number

58 BM series
11. ID Number and GLP Report
The ID number is used to identify the balance when Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) or Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is used.
The output format for GLP/GMP compliant report is selected in "GLP output (info)" of the function
table and can be output to a personal computer or printer using the RS-232C serial interface.
The GLP/GMP compliant report includes the balance manufacturer, model, serial number, ID
number, date, time and space for signature. The calibration report and the calibration test report
include the weight used and the result.
The balance can output the following reports for GLP / GMP using the RS-232C serial interface.
"Calibration report" of the automatic self calibration and the calibration using the internal mass.
"Calibration report" of the calibration using an external weight.
"Calibration test report" of the calibration test using the internal mass.
"Calibration test report" of the calibration test using an external weight.
"Title block" and "End block" for the weighing data.
Calibration report and calibration test report can be stored in memory and several reports can be
output at the same time. Refer to "12. Data Memory" for details.
The ID number is maintained in non-volatile memory even if the AC adapter is removed.
Refer to "10.7. Clock and Calendar Function" for checking and storing the time and date.
When an AD-8127 printer is connected to the balance and outputs the GLP report, the time and
date can be added to the report using the clock function of the printer. (Available for balances with
software version 1.660 or later) This is very useful for managing the time and date using the AD-
8127 password lock function to prevent them from being falsified.
To output the GLP/GMP compliant report, set the AD-8127 printer to the dump printing mode.
