Step 2: Define test point data

Define test point data for equipment.

  1. Select one of these options:
    • Equipment > Assets
    • Equipment > Positions
    • Equipment > Systems
    • Equipment > Setup > Categories
    • Equipment > Equipment Configuration > Equipment Configurations
  2. Select the asset, position, system, category, or equipment configuration for which to define test point data, and then click the Test Points tab.
    Sequence and Device Tolerance are automatically populated if available.
  3. Click Add Test Point.
  4. 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, for example 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.
    Precision
    Specify the number of decimal places to include for the test point data. If this value is blank, then the system will use Precision from the Calibration tab for Equipment.
    Percentage
    Select this check box if the test point data is a percentage.
    Alert Tolerance
    Specify the alert tolerance for the test point. If this value is blank, then the system will use Precision from the Calibration tab for Equipment.
    Increment
    Specify the increment value used for the test point. If this value is blank, then the system will use Precision from the Calibration tab for Equipment.
    Device Range
    Specify numeric values indicating the potential range for the device, such as 250 to 450. If this value is blank, then the system will use Precision from the Calibration tab for Equipment.
    Output Range
    Specify numeric values indicating the potential range of the device output, such as 200 to 500. If this value is blank, then the system will use Precision from the Calibration tab for Equipment.
    Process Tolerance
    Specify the range of the process tolerance, such as 10 to 20. If this value is blank, then the system will use Precision from the Calibration tab for Equipment.
    Process Range
    Specify the range of the process, such as 150 to 600. If this value is blank, then the system will use Precision from the Calibration tab for Equipment.
    Comments
    Enter comments for the test point.
  5. 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.
