19.3.5 Automatic Warnings and Messages
There are several automatic warnings and messages that may appear on your screen as
you save a new calibration record. In this case the term “automatic” refers to the fact that
the appearance of these warnings and messages does not hinge upon the selection of any
Company options or default settings that may have been established in the database.
Figure 19.4
1. If you attempt to save a new record but have not selected the Pass, Fail or Incomplete
circle, the System will warn you of this and you will not be able to continue with the
save until one of them is selected.
2. If you try to save a failed calibration record, but you have selected the Pass circle
instead of the Fail circle, the System will also warn you (see Figure 19.4). In
addition, this warning screen will also tell you at which test point(s), in which groups
the item failed. When the message screen appears, you may click the Yes
button to
instruct the System to automatically mark the Fail circle for you, thus saving the
record as a failed calibration. If you click the No
button, the new record will be saved
as a passed calibration and the Pass circle will remain selected. Finally, clicking the
Cancel
button will return you to the unsaved record. Conversely, if the Fail circle is
selected, but there are not any test points that were actually left outside of the
acceptable spec limits, then upon saving the record the System will warn you of this
and ask if you would like the Pass circle selected instead.
3. There is also warning that will be displayed if there are any “Found As” readings that
are out of tolerance. This warning will be displayed on every save.
4. If during a calibration the item specs have changed, then the user will receive a
warning message. This warning will be displayed on every save.
5. Another message that may appear on your screen when saving a new calibration
record has to do with the current status of the Instrument, Loop or Test Instrument. If
in the company’s COMPANY RECORD, you chose a Calibration Failed Status and
a Calibration Passed Status (see Chapter 9), then a message may appear asking if
you would like to have the System change the status of the item for you. The
appearance of this message depends upon the results of the calibration, whether the
Pass or Fail button has been selected for the record.
