Step 2: Define or import test point data

Defining test point data

To define test point data:

Select Equipment > Assets.
Select Equipment > Positions.

Select Equipment > Systems.

Select Equipment > Setup > Categories.

Select Equipment > Equipment Configuration > Equipment Configurations.
Select the asset, position, system, category, or equipment configuration for which to define test point data, and then click the Test Points tab.
The system automatically populates Sequence and Device Tolerance if available.
Click Add Test Point.
Specify this information:

Set

Specify a value to identify the test point set.

Sequence

Specify a value identifying the sequence in which the test point is calibrated.

Test Point

Specify the point at which to test the piece of equipment, and then enter the unit of measure for the test point in the adjacent field.

Output

Specify the test point output if testing is performed for dual units of measure, and then enter the unit of measure of the output in the adjacent field.

Device Tolerance

Specify the range of the device tolerance for the piece of equipment, e.g., 10 to 20. The values entered indicate the desired range for the calibration measurement and can be either an absolute or a percentage. By default, the system reads these values as percentages.

Comments

Enter comments for the test point.
Click Submit.
Note: if you delete a test point, the system does not update the sequence numbers of other test points.
To modify an existing test point, select the test point to modify, and then edit fields as necessary. You can update Test Point, Device Tolerance, and Comments for existing test points. You cannot update Sequence.

If you are defining test points for a category, click Update Equipment and Update Equipment Configurations. The system copies the test points to all equipment records within the category. Prior to copying the test points, the system deletes any test points for this category from related equipment records.

Importing test point data

Test point data can be imported from existing equipment, categories, or work orders to save time if test points are duplicated across similar instruments or calibration records.

Note: Test points cannot be imported from or to more than one record simultaneously.

Test points can be imported to a work order from an asset, position, system, category record, or work order. However, test points cannot be imported to an asset, position, system, or category from a work order.

When copying test points from one work order to another work order, the system will not copy the Device Reading, Deviation, or test point Status. No "As Left" data will be copied.

If one or more imported test points already exist on the destination record, the system displays a warning message and re-sequences the imported test points to avoid duplication. You may then make any corrections if necessary.

Records that do not have any associated test points will not be available to import from. Records whose organization is not associated to the user will not be available to import from.

When importing from a work order to a work order, records whose organization does not match the destination work order organization will not be available to import from.

Categories, assets, positions, systems, and work orders whose Precision is less than the Precision of the destination record will not be available to import test points from Precision.

When importing test points to a work order from a category or equipment, the system always converts any test point tolerances defined as Percentage to absolute values for display on the Calibration page of the Work Orders form. This conversion is not necessary when importing test points from another work order since the system will have already converted the work order test point tolerances to absolute values.
