Smart Instrumentation generates process data reports by utilizing eight pre-defined report templates with which the data of a Smart Instrumentation item is associated (one for line, and seven for instruments). A Smart Instrumentation item may be an Instrument or a Line. This is done through the association of a Smart Instrumentation item, (and its process function - if it is an instrument) to its pre-defined template.
Each report is made up of a number of sections depending on the process function. For example: General, Quality of Fluid, Operating Data, Instrument Data, Properties Flow, Alarm and Trip Settings (for example, pressure & temperature instruments), a Notes field, and Internal and External Revision fields.
