Note
Two records cannot be created with the same serial number.
However, two or more Tag Ids can be imported with identical serial
numbers (see Chapter 8 for importing information.).
Example 2.5: Creating a Test Results Record (Using a Calibrator)
Note
Tester, Key User, or Admin security rights are required in order to
work through this example.
Test Results records are automatically created when information is unloaded from
a calibrator. DPC/TRACK associates a given Test Results record with the
appropriate Tag ID record for you. All you have to do is load the calibrator, do the
test, and unload the results.
For simplicity, we will be working with sample record SAMPLETAG6, whose test
parameters are already defined for a simple analog test using a 702 calibrator. If
you wish to load a 743 calibrator, you must change the value within the Test
Type field to “743 Analog” in the Setup Cal tab.
To begin, let’s take a look at the test parameters for SAMPLETAG6.
1. Via a Quick Search or some other means, access the Instrument View screen
for SAMPLETAG6 (refer to Example 2.1 if you need help performing a Quick
Search).
2. Select the Test Procedure tab to specify the procedure information.
3. Select the Procedure... button. Use the subsequent Quick Search form to
find the SAMPLEPROC1 record. Choose the Select button while viewing the
SAMPLEPROC1 procedure. This associates SAMPLEPROC1 with
SAMPLETAG6.
4. There are a couple of ways we can load the test parameters to the calibrator.
Rather than simply selecting the Test... button, let’s take the opportunity to
introduce the Calibrator Manager screen. Select the Main Menu button to
return to the Main Menu.
5. Select the Load/Unload button on the Main Menu to access the Calibrator
Manager screen. There are currently no Tag ID records specified within the
Load List field.
6. There are several ways to go about adding SAMPLETAG6 to the Load List
field. We’ll simply click in the field, select the small + button, and type
“SAMPLETAG6” (excluding the quotes) and choose OK. (Other methods of
specifying Tag IDs to load are presented in Chapter 5, “Testing.”)
