Calibration forms are basis for calibration sheets, which are the means of entering data and viewing results in the Calibration module of Smart Instrumentation. These forms are completely customizable to allow users to specify various types of calibration routines. To customize calibration forms, you must be familiar with InfoMaker. For details, see Calibration Form Customization.
Smart Instrumentation comes shipped with two forms so that existing users can continue to work with legacy data and still see a calibration form layout similar to what existed previously. The names of these forms are Standard Settings and Standard Data Entry. In addition, there are various shipped .psr files, which you can customize as needed.
You create and manage calibration forms in the Specifications module because the form creation mechanism is the same for both specification and calibration forms. The forms are created from pages supplied with the software or created by the user. Calibration forms can only contain one page, where as specification forms can have multiple pages. There are two page item types designated for calibration forms, these are: Calibration Settings and Calibration Data Entry. You can create as many calibration forms as you require; and the forms can differ in type of data, layout and calibration requirements. You must assign one settings form and one data entry form to each calibration profile that you define. There is no specific form for calibration history because calibration history is always based on the data entry form. When opening any window in the Calibration module, you actually open a calibration form assigned to a calibration profile.

Any calibration form, whether shipped or user-defined, can only comprise a single data page.

A calibration form page may include a title block in the body of the page, as one the page portions. However, in calibration form pages, you do not create revisions or revision data.
