17.2.1.3 Document ID
This field can filled in from the drop down list. For more information see Chapter 13
17.2.1.4 Status, & Status Modification Date
This field may be populated by either selecting from the drop down menu or entering a
new Status. See Chapter 12 for more information. Upon saving the record the Status
Modification Date field will be filled in. This field will also change if the Status is
changed from the Calibration screen.
17.2.1.5 Use This Test Instrument When Calibrating the Following Instrument Type
Documenting what "types" of Instruments a Test Instrument can calibrate helps in record
keeping and in limiting the selection of available Test Instruments when entering a new
calibration record. Instrument types may be very general like "Pressure" or
"Temperature" or they may be more specific like "Level Transmitter" or "Flowmeter".
The terminology is completely user-defined, allowing the system to be flexible enough to
meet your needs.
The bottom portion of the General Info tab on the TEST INSTRUMENT RECORD
screen contains two list boxes showing the instrument types that can and cannot be
calibrated by the current Test Instrument. To move instrument types back and forth
between the two lists, highlight the Instrument type(s) to be moved and click the
appropriate center arrow button.
Utilizing these two boxes allows you to limit the display of available Test Instruments on
the CALIBRATION RECORD screen, to test only the Instruments that are designated for
use on the type of Instrument that is being calibrated. (See Chapter 12 for instructions on
how to enter "Instrument Types".) If an Instrument has not been designated an Instrument
Type, then all Test Instruments which have been entered into the system will be displayed
in the Available Test Instruments box on the CALIBRATION RECORD screen.
17.2.1.6 Calibration Frequency
This field can filled in from the drop down list. For more information see Chapter 12
17.2.1.7 First Cal Date, Last Cal Date, & Next Cal Date
These fields do not have to be filled in when entering a new Instrument. These fields will
populate when a passing Calibration is entered. It is recommended to at least fill in the
next Cal Date field, this will generate reminders.
17.2.1.8 Keep on Schedule
In addition to the check box here, this field may be selected at the Company level.
(Chapter 9) If this field is already selected, then this field will already be checked. This
can be overridden on an individual basis.
A checkmark in this box will instruct the system to maintain the exact calibration
frequency and date you have specified for the Instrument, despite calibrations or work
that may be performed on a date that does not exactly match the Instrument's due date.
For example, imagine that you have an Instrument with a yearly calibration frequency
that is due for calibration on June 1, 2003, but is calibrated early, on May 25, 2003. As
long as the Keep On Schedule check box is marked for this item, DPCTrack2 will roll the
calibrated Instrument's next due date forward to June 1, 2004 (maintaining June 1
date to be calibrated). However, if this box were not checked and the same situation
occurred, the system would have rolled the next due date forward to May 25, 2004
(maintaining the yearly frequency, but changing the actual date to be calibrated). Please
note that the Keep On End Of Month calibration frequency setting will override the Keep
On Schedule setting. See Chapter 12 for more details about entering calibration
frequencies.
