Creating Test Results Records
Test Results records may be added via a calibrator unload or via a manual test
entry. These two methods are discussed at length in Chapter 5, “Testing.” We also
recommend that you work through Example 2.4 and Example 2.5. You’ll also find
helpful calibrator-specific information in Appendix B at the back of this manual.
There are a few nuances associated with the creation of Test Results that are worth
mentioning here.
• Multiple Test Results records may be associated with a Tag ID record.
• Multiple Test Results records may be associated with a Test Equipment
record.
• When created, Test Results records are automatically linked to their
corresponding Tag ID (or Test Equipment) record by DPC/TRACK.
• When Test Results are created via an unload, DPC/TRACK automatically adds
a Test Equipment record for the attached calibrator if it doesn’t already exist in
your Test Equipment database.
• Your setup options may permit the entry of certain post-test information as
part of a Test Results record when an unload is performed. (See Chapter 5,
“Testing,” and also Chapter 9, “System Maintenance.”)
• Test Results records pertaining to the certification or checking of a piece of
Test Equipment may be added via the Recertify... and Recheck... buttons
while viewing that Test Equipment record. (See Chapter 3, “Searching for
Records.”)
Creating Test Equipment Records
During an Unload
DPC/TRACK automatically creates a Test Equipment record for a calibrator used
during a test when that calibrator is unloaded (assuming a record does not already
exist). You may be asked to provide certain information about the equipment at
this time. You may designate other pieces of Test Equipment (which already have
records in the Test Equipment database) as having been a part of this test via the
Select... button on the Equipment page. (Choose the desired Test Equipment,
then choose Add to add the equipment to your array.) You may create new Test
Equipment records on the spot via the New... button on this screen.
