Hello, Alex!
You wrote: “Does your certificate show any arc corrections? My certificate is filled by the same numbers +10'' for all angles of the arc :-) which indicates to me not only that they did not bother with actual measurements, but also that the person who filled the certificate had no understanding of what s/he was supposed to do.”
The table of corections from Certificate of mine SNO-T can be seen in the attached image. But I have not tested the instument yet. It will be very interesting to see how much these data may be relied on. But 10 seconds for all angles with 5 degrees step is obvious cheating; maybe worker had after NewYear party hangover J
