Smart Instrumentation Version
13.1

After upgrading to the latest version of Smart Instrumentation, you must regenerate the form pages from the Specifications module to be able to use existing calibration settings and data entry. If you are installing Smart Instrumentation for the first time, you must restore and then regenerate the forms.

Some new fields have been added to the calibration forms. If you have upgraded from a previous version of Smart Instrumentation, and you are using customized calibration forms, you must perform the following procedure after the upgrade:

  1. Open Smart Instrumentation > Specification module.

  2. Select the Page Editor > Open Page.

  3. Select the custom page, and click OK.

  4. Regenerate the page.

  5. Make a small change to the page, for example change or move something on the page and then return it to its original state. This is so the Save function becomes active.

  6. Click Save, the page has now been updated with the new fields.

The Calibration module allows you to perform various types of calibrations for your instruments and test equipment, such as functional checks, single-point and multi-point calibrations. You can customize your own calibration forms using InfoMaker, and in this way specify which calibration parameters you want to include on the calibration form. Furthermore, you can perform different types of calibrations on a particular instrument by defining separate profiles for each calibration type and associating the required profiles with the instrument. 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. This way you can review the calibration history of each instrument and generate calibration certificates.

You can specify a large variety of calibration parameters such as calibration ranges, trip point values, and alarms. The calibration user interface allows you to easily compare current measured values with the appropriate specifications.

In order to perform calibrations, a calibration infrastructure must exist. This infrastructure includes definitions of calibration forms (standard and customized), profiles, and settings. For details, see Calibration Preliminary Activities.
