The options on this tab enable you to set various profile defaults for new telecom instruments. These defaults include settings for Instrument Specifications, I/O types, Hook-ups, Location, Dimensional data, and so forth.

Instrument type

Shows the instrument type identification as it appears in the Instrument Type dialog.

Instrument type description

Shows the description of the instrument type as it appears in the Instrument Type dialog.

Instrument specifications

The options in this group box allow you to create instrument specifications automatically when creating tag numbers belonging to the current instrument type profile.

Include instrument specification

Makes the options on the Instrument specifications group box available.

Specification form

Contains a list of specification forms that are assigned to the process function specified on the Instrument Types dialog. The form that you select becomes the default form for all instruments that belong to the current instrument type. If the specified form is defined as a multi-tag form, you can then select a specific format from the Multi-tag list format dialog.

Multi-tag list format (available only if you select a multi-tag spec form from the Specification form list)

Allows you to select a specific format for the multi-spec form. The software creates the specification as a master tag in a multi-tag specification.

  • In this case, since you cannot move a master tag to a different multi-tag specification or redefine it as a single tag specification, the only way to change the specification for this tag is to delete the specification and then reassign a new specification to the tag.

  • If you do not select any format, the software creates the spec as a single-tag spec even if the source form is defined as a multi-tag form. Afterwards, you can move this spec it to a new multi-tag spec or an existing one.

Copy data from template

Allows you to select a form data template from which you want to copy the default data to a generated spec. You can do this only if you already defined a form data template for the selected spec form in the Specifications module.

Maintenance event form

Allows you to select a form for automatic assignment to instruments for which you want to create maintenance event records. Maintenance event form assignment does not create a maintenance event record when creating an instrument tag but only displays the assigned form number on the Maintenance Event Properties dialog.

If the Maintenance event form box is empty, you need to restore the shipped maintenance event form 93 in the Specifications module.

Miscellaneous

Skip loop creation

Skips creating a loop when you create a new instrument tag. Note that Smart Instrumentation lets you associate a new tag with an existing loop at a later stage.

Process data workflow required

This option is not available for telecom devices.

Enhanced Report symbol

Allows you to define a default symbol that appears next to the tag name in Enhanced Report drawings.

Symbol file name and path

Allows you to enter the symbol file path and name. Select Browse to get to the required file.

This option is not available for telecom devices.

I/O type

Enables you to define an I/O type default for a new instrument tag.

I/O type

Makes the list accessible for the selection of an appropriate I/O type.

Enables you to set a default location for new instrument tags.

Include location

Makes the Location list accessible for the selection of an appropriate location.
