This procedure explains how to create an instrument tag in the Process Data module. Although you usually create tags in the Instrument Index module, the ability to create tags in the Process Data module allows for efficient creation of complex analyzers, for example, stream and component tags.

  1. In the Process Data window, on the module toolbar, select Instrument Instrument icon 16bit.

  2. In the Enter Tag Number dialog, type the name of the new tag number, and select OK.

  3. If the Select Instrument Type dialog opens (because there is more than one record for a given instrument type acronym), select the instrument type and select OK.

  4. In the Loop Name dialog, do one of the following:

    • Accept the displayed loop number and select OK.

    • Type the loop number that you need and select OK.

    • To create the tag number without a loop association, select Cancel.

  5. In the Tag Number Properties dialog, on the General tab, enter the appropriate values.

  6. Select OK.
