Example 5.3: Calibrator Manager, Test Scheduler, Mark for Load
This example employs the Test Scheduler tool and the Mark for Load field
together with the Calibrator Manager screen. It is assumed that the sample
records have not been altered. (You may ensure this by rebuilding the sample
records as described in Chapter 6, “Creating & Deleting.”)
1. Select the Load/Unload button on the Main Menu to access the Calibrator
Manager screen.
2. To see the records whose Mark for Load checkbox is currently selected,
choose the Add Marked button. Within the sample records, only
SAMPLETAG6 should appear in the list.
3. Go ahead and remove this record from the list by selecting the Clear button.
4. Now select the Test Scheduler... button to access the Scheduler screen.
5. Let’s say we are interested in all records that are either due or overdue based
on the date range of 3/15/96 through 4/15/96. Enter these dates in the
respective Start Date and Stop Date fields. (You’ll first have to either drag
across and delete the current settings, or perform a Ctrl+Bksp key
combination in the fields before entering these dates.)
6. Select the Due and Overdue checkboxes.
7. Select the Go button to enact our search and access the Scheduler screen.
8. In this case, we already know that the Mark for Load field is only selected
for SAMPLETAG6. For the purposes of this example, select the Clear all
marks in database checkbox.
9. Now select the Mark buttons corresponding to the Due records, and also for
the Overdue records. Since we just selected the Clear all marks in
database checkbox, we now know that the only records whose Mark for
Load checkbox is selected are those that are either due or overdue.
10. Select the Done button to return to the Calibrator Manager screen.
11. Select the Add Marked button. The following sample records will appear
within the Load List: SAMPLETAG1, SAMPLETAG2, SAMPLETAG3,
SAMPLETAG5, SAMPLETAG8, and SAMPLETAG9.
12. The next step would be to load the records to their respective calibrators (as
specified within their Test Type fields). Select the Main Menu button to
return to the Main Menu.
