Alibi Storage
In legal for trade transactions, the alibi memory enables the contracting parties involved to compare the printed/transferred business receipts with the unmanipulatable corresponding entries in the alibi memory and thus to verify the validity of the receipts.
Activation
The alibi storage function can be switched on by entering the included four-digit activation code once.
Note that the alibi storage function, once switched on, cannot be switched off again due to legal regulations.
Availability
Note that alibi storage is only available in the application weighing.
Operating indicator
That the alibi storage is switched on is indicated by the SD-card symbol in the header of the screen:
Functionality
If the alibi memory function is switched on, each time the net or gross weight value is printed out/transferred, it is also saved in the internal alibi memory. The printout/transfer and the alibi memory entry are each given the same data set ID; this allows the printouts/transfers to be clearly assigned to the entries in the alibi memory.
Alibi memory size
In the alibi memory at least the last 300'000 entries can be viewed.
Storage period
If the number of 300'000 entries is reached before the end of the defined storage period, the balance displays a warning-message, further data sets are not saved and printouts do not contain a data set ID.
Backup
From the data records stored in the alibi memory there will automatically PDF files with a maximum size of 1'000 entries be created. These PDF files can be used for external reuse or archiving. To do this, the files are copied to a USB memory stick.
Note, that once the backup files are copied successfully to a USB stick, they will be erased on the balance.

Backup
Collections of backup-files are joined in a ZIP-archive and copied to the USB-stick into the directory named "alibi":
Expl.:
The ZIP-archive "SN9100007_1_000001-300000_alibi.zip" contains 300'000 datasets in 300 PDF files, one of which is "1_006001-007000_alibi.pdf", with the datasets 1-006001 to 1-007000 (=1000 datasets).
"SN9100007" indicates the serial number of the balance from where the data stem.
