This procedure enables you to find tag numbers in the Calibration module using search parameters in the Find Tag dialog. Entering search parameters enables you to narrow down your search. You can narrow your search to the maximum by entering all the search parameters. It is up to you what search parameters to specify. You can use wildcards in the fields where you type values: underscore ( _ ) for single characters, and percent ( % ) for multiple characters.

Leaving some of the search parameter fields empty widens the search. If you do not specify any search parameters, the software finds all the existing tag numbers.

After the search is complete, the software displays the tag numbers that match your search parameters in the Search results data window of the Find Tag dialog.

  1. With the Calibration Module window open, do one of the following:

    • Select Actions > Tag Settings to find the required tag numbers and display them in the Tag Calibration Settings window.

    • Select Actions > Data Entry or PPM All Outputs Graphic to find the required tag numbers and display them in the Calibration Data Entry window.

    • Select Actions > History or Calibration History icon 16bit to find the required tag numbers and display them in the Calibration History window.

  2. On the Enter Tag Number dialog, select Find.

  3. If needed, select Search by category to find only tag numbers that you have associated with tag categories in the Instrument Index module. For details, see Associate Tag Category and Criticality.

    • Search tag numbers by category if you have created user-defined tag categories and associated tag numbers with these categories. You can also type a category in the Category field to narrow your search to tags associated with this category only. Use wildcards and not case-insensitive characters if needed.

    • When searching for tag numbers by tag category, you can narrow down your search by typing a specific tag category or loop name, or by selecting the required instrument type and process function. Note that you cannot use certain search parameters together with the tag category parameter. These fields become view-only.

  4. Define your search criteria using the required combination of the following search parameters:
