9.8 Regulatory Mode Functions
The function of the front panel TAR E and ZERO keys depends on the value specified for the REGULAT parameter
on the FEATURE menu. Table 9-4 describes the function of these keys for the NTEP, CANADA, OIML, and
NONE regulatory modes.
TARE and ZERO key functions are configurable when the REGULAT mode is set to
INDUST (see Table 9-5 on page 85).
Table 9-5 lists the subparameters available when configuring a scale using INDUST mode. The table includes the
default values of the INDUST subparameters and the effective (not configurable) values used by the NTEP,
CANADA, OIML, and NONE regulatory modes.
