Use Approval File (Optional) - Sony Multiscan CPD-1304S Service Manual

8.4.7 Use approval file (optional)

For devices that are to be used in fiscal metrology, a file in the device called "Approval file" gives
an order which parameters are fiscal relevant and monitors these parameters for any changes.
There are different country-specific approval files, which shall determine the parameters and the
corresponding values to be monitored. There are also files which allow to use this protection
mechanism in non-fiscal operation.
If in the left part of the parameterization window the root of the tree (i.e. the device name) is
selected, you see on the right side in the in the top row the selected approval shown behind
"Approval file". There is no default approval set / installed at delivery (see figure).
Figure 8.18: Configuration chose approval file
If you want to operate the device with an approval file, you should contact
Elster GmbH, which will close the SSW and add the necessary pieces of
software.
When selecting an approval file, (whereby the drop-down list) the access rights for fiscal-relevant
parameters and the software versions of the fiscal software components in all parameters are
checked for conformity with approval.
All parameters and parameter branches that deviate in their access rights and do not meet the
preconditions from the approval file are marked in bold orange.
By clicking on "Make compliant" the access rights to the parameterization produce be amended
so that the terms of the authorization are adhered. The orange marker changes to blue, thus
indicating a change from the stored parameter setting.
Changes to the values of parameters are not effected by this action. After saving all colored
markers will disappear. Transfer this compliant parameterization in your device in order to use it
in fiscal metrology.
In operation, the device now checks whether the fiscal access rights and the versions of the fiscal
software components continue to conform to the provisions of approval file. In the case of
deviations, the approval file is displayed in the device display "System Software status" (see
Figure 7.12) in red letters instead of in blue letters.
The lower part of AFB configuration tab shows a table of all available AFBs for the device. To
extend the AFB configuration, please contact your account manager at Elster GmbH www.elster-
