Overview of the Calibration Management Module

The Calibration Management module lets you track the performance of certain Assets, such as instruments and analyzers, by evaluating the detailed results of the calibration events associated with those Assets.

Calibration Management provides tools that you can use to:

Define the requirements of the calibration events. Calibration requirements are stored in Calibration Templates. These records store the number of test points, strategy, ranges, and the accuracy required for that defined calibration.
Define a schedule on which calibration events should occur and audit changes to requirements and schedules. You can use Calibration Tasks to schedule calibration events on a regular basis or as a single event. You can integrate Calibration Tasks with an EAM system.
Record and evaluate calibration event data. Calibration results are recorded in Calibration records (also called Calibration Events). Calibration Event families are provided for the following types of calibrations:
- Analog
- Discrete
- Analyzers
- Weight Scales
- Functional Test
The calibration results that are stored in Calibration records can be used to assess the overall performance of the piece of equipment and evaluate the optimal calibration frequency for that piece of equipment.
