Upgrade Calibration Management
Before You Begin
The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to the latest version of GE Digital APM .
These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.
Procedure
- The Calibration Strategy and Device Type fields in each Calibration Profile are populated automatically.
- If using a GE Druck calibrator, in a Calibration Template that was created before the upgrade, if the value in the Temperature Element Type field is None, you must modify the value. Otherwise, you will not be able to link the Calibration Template to an Asset.
