5 Program functionality

  Program functionality: A manner for independently verifying the program's functioning should be provided. Ideally, the opening screen (when the program is first brought up) should present a self-diagnostic report on program functioning. Alternatively, a range of sample loading conditions can be furnished (on paper) which can be manually entered into the program for comparison with correct draughts, trim and available GM. The sample conditions may be the same as found in the ship's approved stability booklet, or separate samples included in the program's user manual.
