Calibration Administration

Calibration Management: Calibration Administration

This workflow describes the process of defining calibration strategies and device mappings via a manual calibration, a Beamex CMX calibration software, a Fluke documenting process calibrator, and a GE Druck documenting process calibrator.

In the following workflow diagram, the blue text in a shape indicates that the corresponding description has been provided in the sections that follow the diagram. For more information, refer to the Interpreting the Workflow Diagrams topic in the APM Product Workflows documentation.
Note: For information on the personas associated with a APM module, refer to the APM Product Workflows documentation.


Define Strategies

Persona: Analyst

Define the strategies for the calibration, if they are not defined. The strategy will be independent of the documenting process calibrator or the method, automated or manual, to be used for calibration.

Automated Calibration?

Persona: Analyst

Identify whether you want to perform a manual calibration or an automated calibration.

  • If you are performing a manual calibration, you create the calibration template to be used for a calibration task.
  • If you are performing an automated calibration, you must define the mappings, in APM, for sending data to a calibrator and receiving data from a calibrator.

Select Supported Drivers

Persona: Analyst

Identify the device that you will use to perform calibration. The tool will require a driver. You can select one of the following supported drivers:

  • FLUKE 74X
  • DPI 620
  • DPI PRESSURE CALIBRATOR
  • CMX

Define Device Mappings

Persona: Analyst

Define the device mappings, between the supported driver and APM, which you will use for sending and receiving data from a documenting process calibrator. The device mappings will identify which values in Calibration Management will map to the defined tags.

Define Template Defaults

Persona: Analyst

For a supported driver, define the calibration type, analog or discrete, and then define the input details.

Define Calibration Setup Defaults

Persona: Analyst

Calibration setup defaults define default error limits, default strategies and default dead bands for the site.

Define Profile Templates

Persona: Analyst

Define the Profile template and associate the strategy, template defaults, input and output details, and an asset.
