About Calibration Task

A Calibration Task record stores details about a calibration task that should be performed by a given user for Calibration Management. Specifically, these records store scheduled dates for the next time the calibrations should be performed.

Calibration Tasks are linked to Calibration Profiles. After you link a Calibration Task to one or more profiles, GE Digital APM creates a copy of the task for each Profile and Equipment combination.

For example, suppose you have two Calibration Profiles, Profile 1 and Profile 2, which are associated with Equipment as shown in the following diagram:

Note that Equipment 1 is associated with Profile 1 as well as Profile 2.

Suppose you have created Task 1 to link to all the Equipment records in Profile 1 and Profile 2. GE Digital APM creates five Calibration Tasks, and links them to the Equipment as shown in the following image. Note that since Equipment 1 is associated with both the profiles, two copies of Task 1 are linked to Equipment 1.

Each copy of the Calibration Task appears in the Calibration Queue section of the Calibration Management Overview page.

After a calibration is performed and the Calibration Event that is linked to the Equipment is closed, the Calibration Task is updated such that:

The Last Date field reflects the date on which the calibration event was performed.
The Next Date field is the date on which the calibration is due for that piece of equipment.
