If you like, you may select the View... button to take a look at your new Test

Results record. After selecting the Done button, you may be given the choice of

printing an unload report, depending upon your setup options. Respond as you like

to continue.

The three ways of initiating an unload are:

• Select the Unload button on the Calibrator Manager screen.

• Select the Load button on the Calibrator Manager screen.

• Select the Test... button on the Instrument View screen, then choose “Load

Calibrator”.

As mentioned in the previous section, the very first thing that happens when a load

is initiated is, in fact, an unload of everything from the calibrator’s memory. If

nothing is found within the calibrator’s memory, then DPC/TRACK proceeds with

the loading process.

The two ways of loading are:

• Select the Load button on the Calibrator Manager screen (after having

entered the desired Tag IDs into the Load List).

• Select the Test... button on the Instrument View screen, then choose “Load

Calibrator”.

Depending upon your setup options, you may next be given the opportunity to

print a report summarizing the information that you are loading to the calibrator.

Respond as you like to continue.

Appendix B at the end of this manual provides information on loading, performing

tests with, and unloading results from the calibrator. You’ll also find Example 2.4

to be particularly helpful.

Testers Input

DPC/TRACK enables the tester to provide additional information about the tests

they perform in the field through the employment of three checkboxes on the

Setup Cal. page. If a checkbox is selected, then the tester will be prompted for

that information after a test has been completed. The tester’s response to the

prompt(s) is saved as part of the testing information on a per Tag ID basis. The

Problem(s) and Action(s) Taken prompts allow multiple choices while the

Reason for work prompt allows a single choice from a Pick list. The prompt(s)

are presented before any wrapup messages. The choices within these fields may be

defined via the associated icon in the DPC/TRACK program group.
