10. ID NUMBER AND GLP REPORT
The ID number is used to identify the balance when Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is used.
The ID number is maintained in non-volatile memory even if the AC adapter is removed.
The GLP output format is selected at “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 output format includes the balance manufacturer, model, serial number, ID number and space
for signature for weight data, and the weight used and results for calibration or calibration test data.
When the AD-8121B is used, the date and time can be printed using the AD-8121B clock and
calendar function. In this case, set the “GLP output (
info
)” parameter to “
1
”.
The balance can output the following reports for GLP.
“Calibration report” of the calibration, using an external weight.
“Calibration test report” of the calibration test, using an external weight.
“Title block” and “End block” for the weight data.

10-2 GLP Report
Set the following parameters to output the report.
To print the report, set the “GLP output (
info
)” parameter to “
1
” and use MODE 3 of the AD-8121B.
For details on using the printer, refer to “14-1 Connection to the AD-8121B Printer”.
If the time and date are not correct, adjust the AD-8121B clock and calendar.
To output the report to a personal computer using the RS-232C serial interface, set the “GLP output
(
info
)” parameter to “
2
”.
Note
For operational details about calibration and calibration test, refer to “7. CALIBRATION”.
