These options allow you to activate or deactivate instrument type profile settings defined on the Instrument Type Profile dialog. These preferences only apply when you create new instruments. You can deactivate certain instrument type profile settings if you are working in a multi-user environment. This enables creating new tag numbers on your station according to your local preferences without affecting global definitions made on the Instrument Type Profile dialog.
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.
