Precision Calibration

Calibration Management: Precision Calibration Workflow

This workflow describes the process of performing a calibration for both trueness and precision, verifying and saving the results, and proposing and approving recommendations manually.
Note:
  • Precision calibration is applicable to manual calibration only.
  • Precision calibration is not available for discrete and functional test calibrations.

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.



Administration

Persona: Analyst

Select the strategy for the template type to specify the strategy that will be used in a Calibration Profile.

Go to the Calibration Administration workflow.

Create Precision Calibration Event

Persona: Technician

If the precision calibration is enabled in the Calibration Admin Preferences page, create a Precision Calibration Event to store the results of the calibration.

Perform As Found Calibration

Persona: Technician

Enter the readings for each test point. Repeat the steps for all the measurement sets.

AF Calibration Passed?

Persona: Technician

In the Calibration record, determine if the As Found calibration has passed. This is determined based on both trueness and precision, whose results appear in the Summary and Precision Results sections respectively.

.

Recalibrate

Persona: Technician

If the calibration fails, you must recalibrate the asset.

Perform As Left Calibration

Persona: Technician

Enter the readings for each test point again after recalibrating the equipment. Repeat the steps for all the measurement sets.

AL Calibration Passed?

Persona: Technician

In the Calibration record, determine if the As Left calibration has passed. This is determined based on both trueness and precision, whose results appear in the Summary and Precision Results sections respectively.

Replace or Repair Equipment

Persona: Technician

If the As Left calibration fails, then you must replace or repair the asset before recalibrating it again.

Create Recommendation

Persona: Technician

You can create a recommendation to suggest ways to improve the calibration results or to prevent overt failures such as broken electrical conduit, failure of a protective element, rusted wires, or the presence of excess moisture.

Approve and Close Calibration Events

Persona: Analyst

Verify the results of the calibration, and then close the calibration. After you close the calibration, all the other fields in the Calibration are disabled, and the associated Calibration Task is cycled.
