Use this procedure to define a profile for each instrument type that you use. An instrument type profile is a group of default settings that allow you to create new instruments with certain predefined properties, associations, documents, and wiring items. For example, when creating an instrument, you can automatically create the instrument specification, reference device panel and cable, associate the instrument with a specific hook-up, and so forth.

  1. On the Instrument Index Module window menu bar, select Tables > Instrument Types.

  2. From the Process function list, select the process function that you require.

  3. In the data window, select the instrument type for which you want to define profile options.

  4. Select Profile.

  5. Make your definitions as you require.

  • Make sure that your preferences on the Instrument Index > Profile page of the Preferences dialog are set to activate the options that you require. These preferences only apply when you create new instruments. For example, if you clear the Specifications check box, when creating a tag number, the software ignores specification creation options defined on the General tab of the Instrument Type Profile dialog and creates the tag without any specification. If you then manually generate a specification for the created tag, the software applies the existing instrument type profile options.

  • Preferences on the Instrument Index > Profile page of the Preferences dialog do not apply to the settings on the Calibration tab of the Instrument Type Profile dialog.
