This procedure describes how to generate a single-tag spec for an existing instrument using the Specifications module options.

  1. In the Specifications Module window, select Actions > Open Specification

  2. From the Item type list, select Instrument.

  3. From the Tag class list, select a tag class.

  4. In the Item number box, enter the exact instrument tag number.

    • If you do not remember the instrument tag number, leave the Item number box empty and select Find.

    • If you are creating a specification for a specific process data case of an instrument, the value in the Form number box might be view-only. If the value is view only, you have already created previously a specification for a different case of the same instrument. After creating a spec for a process data case, the software assigns the same spec form to all other cases of the same instrument.

    • If the instrument process function is General, the available forms are only those whose process function is also General. However, if the instrument process function is not General, both General forms and forms that have the same process function as the tag has are available for association with the instrument.

  5. In the Form number box, enter the spec form number.

    SHARED Tip If you do not remember the form number, leave the Form number box empty and select Find.

  6. In the Open Specification box, select OK.

    SHARED Tip If you receive a message that the specified instrument tag does not exist, you can create a new instrument tag on the fly, if you set preferences accordingly. To be able to create instrument tags in the Specifications module, on the Preferences dialog, on the Specifications > General page, under Tag creation, select Allowed.

  7. In the New Specification dialog, do one of the following:

    1. Select Create single-item specification.

    2. In the Document number box, accept the default document number or modify it as you require.

    SHARED Tip You do not have to define the document number at this stage. If you leave the Document number box empty, you can define the document number in the spec title block of the spec, after you open the spec.

  8. Select OK to generate and open the specification.
