Defining calibration assets, tools, and locations
You can create asset records to define your instruments,
measurement and test equipment (M&TE), and standards. You can
also manage your instruments as locations and M&TE as tools.
Calibration assets
Calibration assets include instruments , which are the devices that do the work, and measuring and test equipment (M&TE), which are the devices that measure and test the instruments.
Tools used for calibration
When you create a tool for calibration, you configure the tool as a rotating item to track the tool as an asset and create work orders.
Loop locations
A loop is a set of instruments that are grouped and calibrated together. The input and output of the entire group determines whether the calibration is successful.
Creating an asset record for measuring and test equipment
Measuring and test equipment (M&TE) test the performance of instruments. When you create an asset record, you can indicate that the asset is M&TE.
Creating a tool record
A tool record defines a tool and allows you to associate information with the tool. Tools are used to perform work, such as building, maintenance, and repairs.
Adding a location to a loop calibration
A loop calibration is a set of instruments that are grouped and calibrated together. The input and output results of the entire group determines the pass or fail status of the calibration.
