Model Numbers
Keep Track of Equipment Model Numbers
Model numbers are specific to pieces of equipment and the Models grid keeps records organized within Calibration Control (our Calibration Management Software). View all Models by clicking on the Model Numbers icon in the Data Grids tab of the ribbon menu.
To create a record, either click the green [+] New Record icon in the upper-left corner of the ribbon menu, or right-click in the Models grid to select [New Record] from the context menu. To edit a record, double-click on a record row or right-click in the Models grid and select [Open Record] from the context menu.
Equipment Models
Within an open Equipment record, add to the Models combo-box (drop-down list) by clicking directly on the [Model] field name in the Edit Equipment dialog. You can also edit the record of a selected Model by double-clicking in the populated field in the Equipment record. *Certain fields of the Model record can automatically set in the Equipment records; see fields defined below.
Model Fields
- Model Number: The model number of the tool / test equipment, usually assigned by the manufacturer. This is the only required field for a Model record.
