The Model8500C/C+ Balancer/Analyzer gives you printouts with balance solutions and other
important measurement information. This chapter explains how to read, annotate, and use these
printouts to gain maximum benefits, under the following topics:
Section 8.1 Printouts With the 8500C/C+ ...........................................................................8-1
Section 8.2 Reading 8500C/C+ Printouts ...........................................................................8-2

Section 8.4 Renaming Balance Charts ................................................................................8-8
8.1 Printouts With the 8500C/C+
Along with showing you track-and-balance solutions on its liquid-crystal display (LCD), the 8500C/
C+ provides you with printouts that contain important solution and measurement information. An
8500C/C+ printout consists of a copy of the current display window, plus some annotated data fields
that can provide additional information about the printout contents. By default, these data fields
include the following elements: time and date of the printout, air speed, pickup number, altitude, run
number, manufacturer/model number, identification number, and a comment field.
If you are using the M odel11800 FasTrak Optical Tracker with a Smart Chart that supports it the
8500C/C+ also generates track printouts with FasTrak information. For detailed information on thes
printouts, see the FasTrak Operators Manual.
Use the 8500C/C+ solution printout as a hard-copy guide to implementing your current balance
solution. If you are not in the auto-print mode, you must press
PRINT
to create a solution printout.
Normally, in auto-print mode, the 8500C/C+ automatically creates a solution printout at the end of the
last flight regime. At the end of any regime, you may press the
SOLVE NOW
soft key to generate an
interim solution. At the same time, the 8500C/C+ also displays a Solution screen, as reproduced on the
printout.
See Sectio n10.1 Using the Printe ” on pa ge10-1 for additional information on the 8500C/C+ printer
and printouts. The rest of this chapter explains how to read and use an 8500C/C+ solution printout.
