This topic describes the main flow of activities when entering calibration data for instruments with predefined calibration settings.

1. Select a Calibration Profile

Profiles provide a means of allowing you to perform different types of calibration for the same tag. When you select a profile in Data Entry mode, the software loads the profile values into the Calibration Data Entry form.

If required, you can by-pass profile selection by choosing the existing tag settings.

2. Enter Calibration Data

After selecting a profile or the existing settings for your tag, you enter the calibration data. The software uses any formulas you have defined on the Data Entry form to calculate calibration results. While entering data, the calibration result is accepted as long as the input values do not exceed the specified tolerances which are set by the expressions on the form. On saving a calibration record, the software generates a history event.

3. View Calibration History

After you enter calibration data and save the record, the software stores a calibration event in the history repository which includes your data and a visual representation of the calibration form. You can select required history events for a particular tag and view and compare an instrument's calibration record. You can also print calibration history reports. Some properties may still be editable if so defined on the Calibration Data Entry form; these properties are related to the Codes section on the Standard Data Entry form.

4. Generate Calibration Reports

Various calibration reports are available for viewing and printing. These include a Calibration Check List, Calibration Data, various reports that allow you to analyze failure results, and Calibration History.
