vPad-A1 OPERATORS MANUAL
Pressing the button will launch the Equipment
Information form. From this form, the current Test Results can be saved to
a new Test Record.
5.1.2.3 Entering Equipment Information
In order to create a
Test Record, it is necessary to enter a Control Number
(for example, a device ID number, an asset number, or another unique
identifier). A Technician ID is also required to save a record. Additionally,
for a report to stand on its own, it is frequently helpful to include some
detailed information about the device, such as: Description, Manufacturer,
Model, Serial Number, Location, and Facility. With vPad-A1, it is possible
to enter and save this information on the
Equipment Information screen of
Figure 111
.
As Equipment Information is saved, A1 develops an internal equipment database for later reference
so as to avoid re-entering the same data in the future for the same device. There is also the
possibility of pre-loading an equipment list as exported from, for instance, a CMMS system; contact
Datrend for further details.
Note
: Equipment Information data lookup is not case sensitive.
Any information saved in the equipment database can be recalled through
the Control Number lookup, or as a single list entry in its specific data field.
For instance, users can perform a Control Number
lookup by first entering the number in the input
box, then touching the search icon.
Entered text can be a complete or partial match for the equipment under
test. If the search is successful, then the lookup window will show a list of
matches as in
Figure 113
