Use this procedure to create a specification for a hook-up item, reference cable, reference panel, or reference wiring equipment. In this procedure, cable spec generation steps are shown as an example. Procedures of creating other non- instrument specifications follow the same pattern.
Before you perform this procedure, restore the appropriate library forms.
-
In the Specifications module, select Actions > Open Specification.
-
On the Open Specification dialog, from the Item type list, select Cable.
-
Enter a name of a reference cable, or select Find to find the required reference cable or form.
-
After specifying the cable name and the form number, on the Open Specification dialog, select OK.
-
On the New Specification dialog, accept or modify the document number associated with the new specification.
-
The software automatically creates the document number using the cable name as a source, and append the -SP suffix. There is no naming convention for a non-instrument spec document number.
-
You can leave the Document number box empty if you want to specify the document number manually, after opening the specification. In the specification, you can enter the document number in the title block.
-
You can only create a single-cable specification. The software does not support a see list for non-instrument specs.
-
-
Select OK to generate a specification.
-
If you want to save the cable specification as a .psr file, select Actions > Save As, and select Original.
-
You can edit various cable properties in the cable spec in two ways: in the cable spec itself, or on the Properties dialog, which you can open for the cable in the Reference Explorer.
