Record Readings on a Windows Mobile Device

Note: These instructions assume that you are accessing the Readings - Detail screen from the Home screen. You can also use a barcode or RFID tag scanning device to access the Readings - Detail screen, if barcode or RFID tag scanning is enabled.

Steps

On the Home screen, select View Routes.

The Routes screen appears, displaying all Route records that were last downloaded.
Select the row containing the Route that is associated with the checkpoint for which you want to enter readings.
Select Detail View.

The Readings - Detail screen appears, displaying the first checkpoint associated with the Route.

The order in which the checkpoints appear corresponds to the sequence value of the associated Measurement Location records in the GE Digital APM Framework application. A checkpoint that is associated with a Measurement Location record with a sequence value of 1 will appear before a checkpoint that is associated with a Measurement Location record with a sequence value of 2.
In the Value text box, if a list is:
- Displayed, then select a reading value from the list.
- Not displayed, then enter the necessary value.
In the Description text box, enter comments about the reading or the condition of the piece of equipment or location being inspected.

Note: If you did not enter a value for a checkpoint associated with a Measurement Location record whose ML Type value is Character (e.g., you were unable to reach the piece of equipment or location or the piece of equipment was offline), you can use the Description text box to indicate the reason. A Reading record will still be created when you upload data to GE Digital APM. While the Value field will be empty, the Description field will contain your comments.
In the Action list, select the action that you want to associate with the reading, and then create a recommendation based on the reading value or the condition of the piece of equipment or location being inspected.
Select Next.

The reading value is saved, and the next checkpoint along the Route appears. While you are recording readings for a Route, it is helpful to keep in mind that:
- If the reading value you entered triggered an alert, the Readings - Alert screen appears instead of the next checkpoint.
- If the reading value you enter triggers an additional checkpoint to appear, due to a condition defined for the previous checkpoint, the total number of checkpoints on the Route will increase, and the additional checkpoint(s) will appear on the Readings - Grid screen.
Continue recording readings in this way for all the checkpoints on the Route.
After you have entered a reading value for ALL checkpoints along the Route, when you select Next, a message appears, indicating that the Route is complete and asks if you want to view the Routes list.
At this point, you can:
- Select No to remain on the current checkpoint.
  
  -or-
- Select Yes to view the Routes screen. These instructions assume that you want to view the Routes screen.
The Routes screen appears, and the Done check box is selected in the row containing the Route that you completed.
