About Calibration Templates

In Calibration Management, templates are stored at the following locations:

• Template Library: Contains a list of all the calibration templates that you have created. Templates in the library are not linked to an asset.
• Applied Templates: Contains a list of all the templates that are linked to assets. When you select a template from the library and apply it to an asset, the Meridium Enterprise APM system creates a copy of that template. This copy is stored in the list of applied templates, and is linked to the specified asset.

For example, assume that you have created three templates: Template 1, Template 2, and Template 3. These templates are stored in the library.

Suppose you want to link:

• Template 1 to Asset 1 and Asset 2
• Template 2 to Asset 2

The Meridium Enterprise APM system creates a copy of these templates: Copy 1 of Template 1, Copy 2 of Template 1, and Copy of Template 2. These are stored in applied templates, as shown in the following image:

If you modify Copy 1 of Template 1, the changes are not reflected in Template 1.

Similarly, if you modify Template 1, the changes are not reflected in Copy 1 of Template 1 or Copy 2 of Template 1.

If you want the changes made in Template 1 applied to Copy 1 of Template 1, you must re-apply Template 1 to the copy.

When you perform a manual calibration, to link a Calibration Template to a Calibration, you must first select the Equipment on which you have performed the calibration. All the Calibration Templates linked to the Equipment are listed in the Calibration Template drop-down list box. You must then select the appropriate one.

Each Calibration Template can be linked to multiple Calibration Template Detail records through the Has Template Detail relationship. This relationship is defined in the baseline Meridium Enterprise APM database. When you create a new Calibration Template, the Calibration Template Detail records will be created and linked to the Calibration Template automatically, based on the value you select in the Calibration Strategy field.

Only members of the Calibration Administrator Security Group can create, modify, copy, or delete Calibration Templates and Calibration Template Detail records. Members of the Calibration User Security Group can only access and print these records.
