10.3.6.2 Incremental
After entering a starting ID number (up to 11 alphanumeric characters in the ID Prefix
and up to 10 alphanumeric characters in the ID number itself), the EPOCH 1000 Series
automatically increments the subsequent ID numbers using the following
incrementing rules:
• Only that portion of an ID number consisting of digits and letters (no punctuation
marks) beginning with the right-most character and extending leftward to the
first punctuation mark or to the left-most character (whichever comes first) can
increment.
• Digits are cycled 0, 1, 2,..., 9, 0, etc. The 9 to 0 transition is done only after
incrementing the character to the left. Letters are cycled A, B, C,..., Z, A, etc. The Z
to A transition is done only after incrementing the character to the left. In either
case, if there is no character to the left or if the character to the left is a punctuation
mark, then the ID number cannot increment.
• If an ID number cannot increment, then after a measurement reading is saved, an
error beep sounds and the momentary message CANNOT INCREMENT is
shown on the display above the function keys. Subsequent saves overwrite
measurement readings if you do not manually change the ID number first.
