About the Calibration Management Data Loader

Using the Calibration Data Loader, you can implement Calibration Management when you have calibration data in a legacy system, which is not supported by GE Digital APM. To import data using the Calibration Data Loader, GE Digital APM provides an Excel template, Calibration_DataLoader.xlsx, which supports baseline Calibration Management in GE Digital APM. You must export your legacy system so that the data can be used to populate the template. The data from the template will then be imported into GE Digital APM using the Calibration Data Loader.

Note: The Excel template is referred to throughout this documentation as the data loader workbook.

The data loader workbook can be used in the following scenarios:

Loading existing legacy calibration data into GE Digital APM so that you can retain visibility into previous calibration results, compare the results with current and future results, and generate graphs and reports.
Loading calibration data from a documenting process calibrator that is not supported by GE Digital APM.

After importing the data, the Calibration Data Loader creates the following records in GE Digital APM:
