Note that industrial serial scales (IND SC) do not require the , and identifiers. However, the units
and number of decimal places must be specified. Units can be selected from the FORMAT menu; decimal places
should be indicated with a w-spec identifier. For example, a seven-digit weight reading requiring two decimal
places should be specified as rather than .

9.9 Regulatory Mode Functions
The function of the front panel TARE and ZERO keys depends on the value specified for the REGULAT parameter
on the FEATURE menu. Table 9-5 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 9-6 on page 97).
Table 9-6 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.
