Introduction
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Generating Graphs
• Printing Reports
• Printing Records
• Calibration Sheets
Obviously, having the information is important. But it is your ability to efficiently
organize and effectively present your information that really counts—regulatory
and plant strategy directives depend on it. To this end, DPC/TRACK provides a
number of customized graphs and reports.
Generating Graphs
Certain types of Test Results include a Graph button (available on the Results
page), which, when selected, presents the test information in a graphical form.
As we saw in Example 2.2, you may also generate a Drift Plot graph, which
illustrates the maximum As-Found deviation relative to the test dates for all
associated Test Results records. For a given device on a regular testing schedule, if
the As-Found maximum deviation is always too big, then the device probably
needs to be looked at more often.
