Use this procedure to generate and open a multi-tag spec in the Specifications module. To generate such a spec, you need to select a specific instrument and a form for which you created a multi-tag spec format. After generating the spec, you can add other instrument tags to the spec see list.

Before you can perform this procedure, make sure you created a multi-tag spec format for a spec form you need to associate with the instrument for which you want to create the spec.

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

  2. From the Item type list, select Instrument.

  3. In the Item number box, enter the exact instrument tag number that you want to define as the master tag in your multi-tag spec.

    • 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.

  4. In the Form number box, enter the spec form number of the form for which you created a multi-tag list format.

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

  5. In the Open Specification box, select OK.

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

  7. Select Create multi-tag specification.

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

    The document number that you define applies to the entire multi-tag specification, regardless of the number of instruments you subsequently add in the current spec see list.

  9. Select OK to generate and open the specification.

SHARED Tip After generating the multi- tag spec, you can add other instrument tags to the spec directly from the spec see list, without having to perform the current procedure again.
