Example 7.5: Editing a Procedure (Global)
In this example, we will change the Procedure we created in Example 6.2
(MYPROCEDURE1). The change will be reflected in all Tag IDs that employ that
Procedure. You need to be logged in as the Key User or Admin User ID to work
through this example.
1. Perform a Quick Search to access the Instrument View screen for any Tag
ID record.
2. Select the Test Procedure tab within the Instrument View screen.
3. Select the Procedure... button.
4. Enter “MYPROCEDURE1” (excluding the quotes) in the Procedure field on
the subsequent Quick Search screen and select the Search button. The
Procedure Selection screen appears, displaying the record matching our
search criteria.
Now we will edit the Procedure, changing the 100% testpoint to 80%.
5. Click on the “100%” in the Testpoints field, then select the Edit button at
the bottom of the field box.
6. On the subsequent screen, enter “80” in place of the “100.00”, and select the
OK button. The Procedure Selection screen reappears.
7. Select the Done button to finalize the change to MYPROCEDURE1. We are
returned to the Instrument View screen.
8. Select the Main Menu button to return to the Main Menu.
If there were any Tag IDs employing MYPROCEDURE1, the edited version that
we just completed would now be reflected in all Tag IDs using that Procedure.
Other Procedure Fields
Some noteworthy fields within the Procedure database include:
Adequacy Delta
The value within the Adequacy Delta field is used in conjunction with the
Adequacy Level to determine if a given combination of test equipment
(calibrator) and Tag ID is adequate. (If the sum of the Adequacy Delta of
the Procedure and the Adequacy Level of the Tag ID exceed the
Adequacy of the calibrator, then a warning will be issued when the testing
parameters are loaded to the calibrator.) Adequacy checking may be
bypassed with an Adequacy Delta value of “0”.
