Check Due Date
The value within this Date field is determined by adding the Check
Interval to the Last Check Date. This field is automatically updated when
Test Equipment is rechecked, or the Check Interval is changed. You are
not allowed to directly edit the Check Due Date field.
Cal. Status #
This field is automatically incremented to reflect the number of times a
calibration sequence was performed on any of the functions of the calibrator.
Example 7.2: Recertifying Test Equipment
Let’s walk through the steps of updating our Test Equipment database with the
latest recertification data for our sample Test Equipment, Fluke SAMPLE. Note
that this example employs the sample records that came with DPC/TRACK. It is
assumed that the sample records are in their original state. (See Chapter 6,
“Creating & Deleting,” for instructions on rebuilding the sample records.) You
must have Admin or Key User security rights to work through this example.
1. Access the Fluke sample Test Equipment record by performing a Quick Search
via the Test Equipment button on the Main Menu. (See Example 3.3.)
2. Select the Recertify... button.
3. Enter the required information.
Note
Proceeding from this point will add a permanent record to your Test
Results database. Although you may later delete the sample Test
Equipment record, you will not be able to delete any Test Results
record associated with it. (You may just want to select the Cancel
button and read along from here.)
4. Select the Create button.
5. Notice that the Last Cert. Date field has been updated. The Cert. Due Date
field has also been updated according to the Cert. Interval value.
6. Select the Main Menu button to return to the Main Menu.
You may review the associated recertification and recheck records (contained
within the Test Results database) for a piece of Test Equipment by selecting the
History... button on the Test Equipment screen.
