Calculated Industries 9526 - Manual (Page 17)

Time Conventions
There are basically two kinds of time
conventions
considered when entering
time values:
1. Points in Time (a specific time):
9:22 AM, 5 PM
2. Time Periods (a span of time):
37 Minutes, 45 Seconds
Time formats are Hours, Minutes, and
Seconds. When entering Time values,
the entry must comply with the follow-
ing rules:
Addition
Period + Period = Period
3 Hrs. + 22 Min. = 3 HR 22 MIN
Point + Period = Point
9 AM + 22 Min. = 9:22 AM
Point + Point = Error
Note: You cannot add two points in time
as the result would be meaningless.
