Time 
Date parameter enables setting the current time.  
Procedure: 
 
 
Date format 
Date form. parameter enables altering the date format on the printout [YYYY.MM.DD / YYYY.DD.MM 
/ DD.MM.YYYY / MM.DD.YYYY], where: YYYY – year; MM – month; DD – day. 
 
Time format 
Time form. parameter enables specifying time format for a printout [12h / 24h]. 
For [12h] option selected, <A> or <P> letter is displayed next to presented time value, where: A 
stands for hours before noon; P stands for hours after noon. On the printout AM and PM symbols are 
placed right next to the time. 
 
GLP autotest 
AUTOTEST function is designed to aid a user in assessing balance’s operation and diagnosing the 
reasons for occurrence of errors in weighing which exceed the maximum permissible values for a 
given balance model.  
By means of a simple, repeatable and fully documented way, the function enables optimizing 
balance’s settings to maintain the best possible repeatability and weighing time at workstation. The 
main purpose of the function is the possibility of monitoring the above-mentioned parameters at 
optional moment and saving records from the carried out tests in the form of printed reports of the 
tests that are automatically generated at the end of examination.  
The test controls repeatability of placing the interval weight and determining error of indication with 
reference to balance’s maximum capacity.  
 
Testing procedure: 
•  deposit internal weight twice,  
•  deposit internal weight ten times, 
•  calculate the value of standard deviation, 
•  perform balance adjustment, 
•  print a report. 
Test results provide balance data, calculated error for Max capacity and value of repeatability of 
indication expressed as standard deviation.
