A non-instrument specification is a specification whose item type is not Instrument. A spec page associated with a non- instrument spec form contains various properties of the source item. If needed, you can regenerate the spec page and add more columns from the tables <item type>, udf_<item type>, spec_sheet_data, and add_spec1..9. For example, in a cable specification, you can add columns from the tables CABLE, UDF_CABLE, and so forth. Smart Instrumentation allows you to generate the non-instrument specifications for the following item types:

Cable

Allows you to create a specification for a single reference cable defined in the Reference Explorer.

Panel

Allows you to create a specification for a single reference panel in the Reference Explorer.

Wiring Equipment

Allows you to create a specification for a single reference wiring equipment item. A wiring equipment item can be an I/O card, I/O termination, fieldbus brick, or any other user-defined wiring equipment in the Reference Explorer.

Hook-Up Item

Allows you to create a specification for a single hook-up item defined in the Reference Explorer.

Loop

Allows you to create a single-section loop specification. This specification consists of the main page with the loop number data and the note page, which is created automatically and refers to the loop number only. The form associated with the loop number page is the form that you defined for the Loop item type.

If you need to create a specification for a loop and its tags, we recommend that you create a loop composite spec with multiple sections. For details, see Loop Composite Spec: Generation Workflow.

Smart Instrumentation does not support saving non- instrument specifications as .isf files. Therefore, you cannot use the export or import options to work with these specifications in External Editor. Saving non-instrument specifications in Excel format is not supported either.
