Signing is the act of attaching the following approval information to a measurement data file.
• Pass or fail judgment
• Comment
• Name of the user who attached the information and time when the information was
attached
For the setting procedure, see section 2.2.
For operating instructions, see section 2.4.
Display and event data files (.GSD and .GSE extensions) can be signed.
Two Sign In Type
Set the sign in type to choose what types of measurement data files can be signed.
Sign In Type
When signing from the GX/GP
Batch When the measured data from the start
to stop of recording is contained in a
single file.
Continuous Each measurement data file.
The "continuous" process type is useful when you are dealing with a continuously operating
process, such as the monitoring of the air conditioning temperature. You can sign each
measurement data file.
On the other hand, the "batch" process type is useful when you are dealing with a process
such as one in which recording starts and stops in accordance with production. You cannot
sign a unit of data unless all the files from the start to the stop of the recording are present.
On the GX/GP, data files whose Sign in type is set to Batch and are divided from the start to
stop of recording cannot be signed.
Such files need to be signed using the standard software (Universal Viewer).
Users and Signature Privileges
• You can attach three signatures (Sign in 1, Sign in 2, and Sign in 3), each with different
privileges, to a single display or event data file. For example, you could reserve Sign in 1
for the operator, Sign in 2 for the quality control supervisor, and Sign in 3 for the general
supervisor.
• An administrator can attach signatures with any privilege.
• A user can only attach a signature that they have been given permission to attach.
• A signature with the same privilege can only be attached once. You cannot overwrite a
signature.
