Receive Data from a Calibrator

This topic describes how to receive data from calibrators that have been calibrated by using an automated calibrator.

Before You Begin

• Install the Meridium Device Service. When you first try to send data to or receive data from the calibrator, if you have not installed the Merdium Device Service, you will be prompted to install it. This service must be installed on any machine that you will use with calibrators.
• Verify the calibrator settings.
• Send calibration data to the calibrator.
• Perform the calibration on the calibrator.
• If you are using the Beamex CMX calibration software to perform automated calibration, the following additional prerequisites must be fulfilled:
  • Beamex CMX calibration software must be installed and running on the machine that you will connect to the calibrator.
  • Beamex Bridge software must be installed and running on the machine that you will connect to the calibrator.

Steps

1. Access the Calibration Management Overview page.

   Hint: You can also access the Calibration Management Overview page for a hierarchy level.

2. Select the Calibration Events tab.

   The Calibration Events section appears, displaying a list of Calibration event records.

   

3. In the upper-right corner of the section, select Receive from Calibration.

   The Receive From Device window appears, displaying the Select Calibration Method section.

   

4. In the Receive From box, select the calibrator type that you have used for calibration. You can select one of the following options:

   • If you want to receive data from the Beamex CMX calibration software for calibration, select CMX.
   • If you want to receive data from a GE Druck Calibrator, select one of the following devices:
     • Druck DPI611 (Druck DPI611 - Pressure Calibrator)
     • Druck DPI612 (Druck DPI612 - Flex Pressure Calibrator)
     • Druck DPI620 (Druck DPI620 - Multifunction Calibrator)

     • Druck DPI620G (Genii) (Druck DPI620G – Advanced Multifunction Calibrator, HART/Fieldbus Communicator)

     • Druck DPI620G-IS (Genii) (Druck DPI620G-IS - Intrinsically Safe Advanced Multifunction Calibrator, HART/Fieldbus Communicator)
     • Druck DPI620-IS (Druck DPI620-IS - Intrinsically Safe Multifunction Calibrator)
   • If you want to receive data from a Fluke documenting process calibrator, select Fluke 74x - 75x.

5. In the Calibrator Device ID box, select the device ID of the calibrator.

   Note: If you have selected CMX, the Calibrator ID box will be disabled.

   The calibration driver details, device details, and certification details for the selected device appear.

   

6. Select Next.

   The Download Calibration Checklists section appears, displaying a list of calibrations that have been performed on the device.

   

   Tip: If you want to view the progress of the data received, then in the upper-left corner of the section, select Log.

7. Next to each calibration data that you want to save, select the check boxes, and then select Next.

   The Saved Results section appears, displaying the status of records selected for saving.

   

   After receiving the calibration data, GE Digital APM creates a Calibration record for each calibration that you have selected. If you have used a documenting process calibrator for calibration, then the fields in the Test Equipment section of each Calibration record created are populated with the details of the calibrator.
