Customization of calibration form pages requires extensive knowledge of InfoMaker. The Page Editor options of the Specifications module are insufficient to customize a calibration page properly. Therefore, a number of template .psr files come shipped with Smart Instrumentation. These .psr files are designed according to pre-defined calibration types. You can customize these files in InfoMaker as needed and then import them into the Specifications module as form pages.

It is recommended that you back up the shipped files before customizing.

When customizing forms, you can do the following:

  • Design the layout of data fields on the form

  • Specify conditions under which data fields on the form are editable, visible, or protected

  • Determine the scope of data values to be used — depending on the form type, these values may include instrument data, settings, or calibration data entry values

  • Add expressions used to calculate results and errors

  • Specify conditions for dynamic highlighting and background colors for data fields based on values of results (for example, depending on whether actual values exceed a predefined tolerance limit)

  • Design the correct print layout — this is required because a calibration form, whether shipped or user-defined, can only comprise a single data page

In Smart Instrumentation, expression validation is done directly in the form page in the Calibration module. The standard forms already have all possible expression types, which you can use as examples to create your own expressions in InfoMaker. You must restore these forms in the Specifications module and then regenerate the form pages to be able to use them for calibration.

The standard calibration settings page includes columns from the COMPONENT and CALIBRATION_SETTING tables. The standard calibration data entry page includes columns from the COMPONENT, CALIBRATION_RESULT, and CALIBRATION_RESULT_POINTS tables. It is not possible to add columns from other tables in calibration pages.
