You use this dialog to synchronize the glands on plant cables with the glands on the reference cables. Two synchronization options are available:
-
Synchronize the glands on selected plant cables with the glands on the reference cables associated with each of the selected plant cables. See Synchronize Cable Glands with Reference Cables in Batch Mode.
-
Synchronize the glands on a number of plant cables with the glands on a specific reference cable. See Synchronize Cable Gland Associations with a Specific Reference Cable.
Filter cable criteria
This group box contains options for filtering the plant cables that you want to select for the synchronization. These cables appear under Cable data below the Filter cable criteria group box.
If you selected the required cables in the Electrical Index, the filter options are not available.
Cable category
Allows you to select a cable category for filtering the cable data.
Cable specification
Allows you to select a cable specification for filtering the cable data.
Conductor arrangement
Allows you to select a conductor arrangement for filtering the cable data.
Conductor size
Allows you to select a conductor size for filtering the cable data.
Reference cable
Allows you to select a reference cable whose glands will be used for all the plant cables that you select for synchronization.
You must select an appropriate reference cable to be able to populate the Cable data grid.
Cable formation
Allows you to select a cable formation for filtering the cable data.
Synchronize
Allows you to select one of the options below to instruct the software to synchronize the glands on one of the cable sides or both.
Glands on both cable sides
Synchronizes the glands on both sides of the selected cables.
Glands on the "To" cable sides
Synchronizes the glands on the "To" side of the selected cables.
Glands on the "From" cable sides
Synchronizes the glands on the "From" side of the selected cables.
Show Cable Data
Populates the Cable data section with all the plant cables that comply with filter condition that you have set and whose glands are inconsistent with the glands on the selected reference cable.
This button becomes available only after selecting a reference cable in the Filter criteria group box and the gland on that reference cable is inconsistent with glands on the selected plant cables.
Cable data
This data window holds all the cables that comply with the filter criteria that you set in the Filter cable criteria group box. Selecting the check box beside a cable includes the cable in the synchronization process.
Select cables
Allows you to select multiple cables in the Cable data section. Select the check box to select All or select the arrow to select one of the following commands:
All
Selects all the cables in the data window.
None
Clears the selection of all the cables in the data window.
All cables without glands
Selects all the cables that do not have any glands.
All cables with different glands
Selects all the cables whose glands are different from the ones on the associated reference cables.
