This procedure explains how to create a telecom field tag by duplicating the properties of an existing one. You can then edit the new telecom field tag properties as required. You can create the new duplicated telecom field tag in any <unit> of the current domain.
-
In the Domain Explorer, double-click the Instruments folder to display the existing instruments.
-
Right-click a telecom field tag and then select Duplicate.
-
On the Duplicated Tag Number dialog, under Tag number, type the name of the new tag number. For details on how to name new tag numbers, see Instrument Tag Naming Convention.
-
To create the new field tag in the another <unit> of the current domain, select the Create in another unit check box and do the following:
-
On the Open dialog, select the target <unit> for the new field tag.
-
Select OK.
-
-
Select OK to duplicate the field tag and close the Duplicated Tag Number dialog.
In Smart Instrumentation, a device field segment of a telecom field tag, for example, HO, is associated with
an existing device type acronym and description, for example, HO HOODS, ACOUSTIC.
If you have changed the telecom device field segment in the telecom tag number and
the system cannot recognize its association with the existing device field, you must
select a telecom device field from the Select Telecom Device dialog, and then select OK.
-
On the Tag Number Properties dialog, modify the values as you require and select OK.
