Kaye Validator AVS User’s Manual 60
• Equipment ID of the asset: This is the internal asset number or serial number for unique
identification of this asset.
• Model: A model name or subtype can be specified
• Manufacturer: Asset manufacturer name
• Type: Categorization of the asset
• Last validated: Date of the last validation as manually entered in the edit asset screen.
• Validation frequency:
At the upper right, tiles list the following categories associated with this asset:
• Setups
• Calibrations
• Qualifications
• Verifications
• Reports
• Documents
The number on the tile represents the number of available files under this specific tile. Press on a
given tile, and the lower right window displays the list of related data.
For setups, the panel displays the latest setup files. If more setup files are in the database, the
option, “Other Setups” shows the number of additional associated setups. Press a downward
arrow to launch the Setup List page. On the list page, users can apply predefined Filter options
(Status, Activity, Setup Name, Date, Comments, and Actions) to sort the files. You also start
create a new setup by pressing the Create New Setup button.
A setup for the Asset holds all information necessary to define the sensors, groups wiring
diagram, calculations, calibration, verification and qualification parameters required for a
validation study. The “(+) New” buttons creates a new setup from the scratch but it is also
possible to copy existing setups from other assets as templates. Pressing the copy button beside
the “New” button opens a list of all available setups on the machine. Depending on the number
of assets and setups the population of this list might take some minutes.
In this list the Assets are listed with names and setups listed with the setup name, number of
sensors, comments and last modification date. The last column let you select the setups you want
to copy to the asset.
With the “Copy to drive” button it is possible to copy the selected setup file to a chosen folder.
With the new Kaye Validator AVS system it is not necessary anymore to transfer setups via an
USB thumb drive anymore. The functionally is purely for possible support analysis by the Kaye
support that might request a setup file from the operator for analysis of issues with a study run.
Every existing setup can be individually edited (by pressing the pencil button) or deleted (by
pressing the trash bin button).
