Where displayed on a gaming machine for the benefit of players, time may be displayed in 24 hour format (hh:mm) or 12 hour (hh:mm AM/PM) format.
3.3.27
Times displayed for other purposes must be in 24 hour format - i.e. hh:mm:ss.
3.3.28
Any dates displayed must be in Australian/New Zealand format either as dd,mm,yy or dd/mm/yy or dd,MMM,yy where MMM is, at least, an alphabetical 3-character representation of the month. Note that “yy” may also be “yyyy”. Gaming machines are to operate and report properly during the year 2000 and beyond.
3.4 Program Interruption & Resumption
Recovery from Program Interruption
3.4.1
After a program interruption (e.g. power down), the software must be able to recover to the state it was in immediately prior to the interruption occurring.
Recovery from Test Mode
3.4.2
If in a test mode, any test that incorporates credits entering or leaving the gaming machine (e.g. a hopper test) must be completed prior to the resumption of normal operation.
Restoration of Fault Condition
3.4.3
If a gaming machine is powered down whilst in a fault condition, then upon restoring power the fault message must be displayed and the gaming machine must remain locked-up. This is unless power down is used as part of the error reset procedure or if on power up or door closure the gaming machine checks for the fault condition and detects that the fault is no longer in existence.
Program Interruption Procedures
3.4.4
On program interruption, the following procedures must be successfully performed as a minimum requirement:
a) the hopper must be turned off and the brake applied, if applicable;
b) the integrity of critical variables must not be compromised by the interruption procedures; and
c) the power-down routine completes fully.
