Now that I finished configuring
the second tag, I am going to configure
the next tag which is PIML-Float12.
In here I can, again,
check on the different options that I have
under the Tag Name, PIML-Float12.
I will have no Comment Tag,
no different Schedule -- the same Schedule
as the Tour, no
Preformat, no Conditional Specification, but I
will like to enter some Data Validation
numbers. The options here include
Lower and Upper Limits.
For a LoLo Limit, I want
to have a five percent,
Low Limit of ten,
90 for the High Limit, and 95
for the HiHi. In addition to
being able to set up these limits, I also have
an option of specifying
actions when these limits are violated.
Some of the options that
are available include requiring a
signature when the limit is violated or
requiring a comment or prompting a
specific message. In this case,
I am going to specify for the
LoLo Limit a message:
Call the control
room.
So when I enter data, if
the value's below five, I will receive
a message that says call the control room.
For my Low Limit,
I am going to specify another action
which is a required signature.
And now, I
will be done with that tag.
The last tab are the
options for an entire Tag Group, so let's
go ahead and talk about how to create
Tag Groups. If I have
five different tags
that can be grouped together in a logical
manner -- maybe they are within the same Unit
or they are similar pieces of equipment --
I can group those together
in a Tag Group and select
the options that will apply for the
entire Group. In order to create a Group,
I click on the Tag Group Editor
Icon. In here, I
will be able to create New Groups. Let's
say that we have a Group that belongs to
Unit2,
and I want to group those tags together.
Now I can see that I have a New Group
under which I can group tags together.
I can click OK, and that Group
will be shown in the lower right pane.
And I can select now the tags
that belong to that Group,
and all I have to do is drag those tags
into the Group. So, I will include
PIML-Float15
through 20 into my New Group.
Now, instead of having
to select options for each one
of these tags individually, I can select
the Group and select the options for
that Group. Going back to the
first pane, I can see that now
my options for the individual tags are
shaded because I can now
select those options for the entire Group
in the Tag Group Configuration which
includes the barcode which will allow me
to navigate to that Group during data
collection, a Comment Tag --
and I am going to select
String #1
for a Comment Tag where my
observations will be stored when I am
collecting data for this Entire Group. I can
have a different Collection Schedule for this
entire Group that can be different than the
Collection Schedule for the Tour, and I
can all... I can also have a Conditional Specification
for this entire Group.
And the Conditional Specification that I am going to
set is that if
the current value
of my first
tag, which is PIML
-Float
1,
is
greater than
90,
then I will collect the data,
otherwise I will
escape the collection.
Now I am done
selecting the options for each one of my individual
tags. I can save the changes
for the entire Tour
and Exit this Menu.
