Calibration Management Upgrade

Upgrade Calibration Management

The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to the latest version. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

StepTaskNotes
1Following query has been modified to display overview count to match with number of records in the result grid under calibration queue tab. Revert these queries to Baseline to avoid any issues while loading overview count:
  • Public\Meridium\Modules\Calibration Management\Queries folder.
    • Calibration Queue Overview
This step is required only if you have previously modified the queries.

Install the GE Device Service

About This Task

Important: You must repeat this procedure on each machine to which you will connect a calibrator.

The GE Device Service can be installed as part of the workflow when you try to send data to calibrator or verify the settings of the calibrator.

Procedure

  1. Access the Calibration Management Overview page.
    Note: A calibrator does not need to be connected.
  2. Select the Calibration Tools tab.

    The Calibration Tools section appears, displaying a list of test equipment and standard gas cylinders.

  3. In the upper-right corner of the page, select Calibrator Settings.
    The Calibrator Settings window appears.
  4. In the Select Device box, select the required device.
  5. If you selected the CMX Calibration Management software, enter values in the following fields:
    • If you want to test the connection of the CMX Calibration Management software, select the Perform Connection Test check box.

    • In the Device Service Settings Service Port box, enter the value of the service port number that you have configured. The default value in the Device Service Settings Service Port box is 2014.

    If you selected a Fluke documenting process calibrator, enter values in the following fields:

    • In the COM Port box, select the communication port number to which the calibrator is connected.

      Important: APM supports port numbers in the range of COM1 through COM4. If the communication port number of the calibrator does not fall within this range, you must change the value in the Device Manager, or connect the calibrator to a different port.

    • If you want to test the connection of the Fluke documenting process calibrator, select the Perform Connection Test check box.

      Note: The Baud Rate box contains the value 9600. You cannot change this value.

    • In the Device Service Settings Service Port box, enter the value of the service port number that you have configured. The default value in the Device Service Settings Service Port box is 2014.

    If you selected a GE Druck documenting process calibrator, enter values in the following fields:

    • If you want to test the connection of the GE Druck documenting process calibrator, select the Perform Connection Test check box.
    • In the Device Service Settings Service Port box, enter the value of the service port number that you have configured. The default value in the Device Service Settings Service Port box is 2014.
  6. Select Done.
    The Calibrator Settings window appears, indicating that the GE Device Service is not installed.
  7. Open the following KBA article that contains the latest GE Device Service installer.
    • KBA article number: 000059233
