9.4 Local/Remote Operation
For systems that require two locations, local/remote support provides function equivalent to that of a
legal-for-trade remote display with keypad. Scale data from the local indicator is also displayed at the remote unit,
and keypad input from the remote allows transactions to be initiated from either the local or remote unit.
To configure for local/remote operation, set DEVMOD to local or remote. Once the local unit scale has been
configured, use the SERIAL menu, serial commands, or Revolution to set the serial parameters for local/remote
operation. See Table 3-4 for comport options.
Printing operation can be performed at the remote unit and/or at the local unit. When the operator presses the print
key at the local unit, a printing ticket will be issued only locally. When the operator presses the print key at the
remote unit, print will only occur at the remote unit.
9.5 Audit Trail Support
Audit trail support provides tracking information for configuration and calibration events. To prevent potential
misuse, all configuration and calibration changes are counted as change events.
Audit trail information can be printed from Revolution or by sending the DUMPAUDIT serial command. See
Figure 3-4. Revolution can be used to display audit trail information. The audit trail display includes the legally
relevant (LR) version number (software version for the code that provides audit trail information), a calibration
count and, if REGULAT=NTEP, a configuration count. The exact format of the information shown depends on the
regulatory agency specified for the REGULAT (FEATURE menu) parameter.
See Section 1.5.10 for steps to view the Audit Trail.
For NTEP and Measure Canada modes , there are two numbers displayed; Configs and Calibs. The Configs number
tracks changes to the legally relevant configuration parameter changes. The Calibs number tracks changes to the
scale calibration.
In OIML mode , there is only one number displayed; Audit Trail. The Audit trail number is incremental for any
legally relevant configuration parameter changes and all calibration changes. The last date the scale was calibrated
is also displayed.
