FastCalXP Operation Manual
 Gauge number
The Gauge number is your number for a particular gauge—its identifi er. This number is required and it must be unique among all gauges stored in the
database. Choose the gauge number carefully since the number will be used in the future to identify this specifi c gauge from, potentially, a large number of
gauges stored in the database.
 Manufacturer and Model
Use the pull-down lists to select a Manufacturer and Model from those stored in the database. If the desired manufacturer and model are not listed, click on the
Create New Model button to open the Models editor.
 Serial number
The Serial number is that which is provided by the manufacturer. The serial number, along with model and manufacturer, is a second method of uniquely
describing the gauge.
 Nickname
A Nickname is not required but may provide another useful description for the gauge.
 Location
A Location is not required. However, it is commonly used to specify the operating location of the gauge within the user’s facility or, by a calibration laboratory,
for customer information. If you wish to enter a location but do not see the desired location listed, click on the Create New Location button to open the Loca-
tions editor.
 Calibration due
Calibration due is the date a gauge is next scheduled for calibration. When a calibration has been completed and a certifi cate created, this date is updated
automatically using the calibration interval specifi ed for the model.
If the model selected is a transmitter with HART communication, three numbers combined together form the unique ID used to communicate with the trans-
mitter during the calibration session. These fi elds will be available for editing.
 Manufacturer ID
The Manufacturer ID is a number assigned to the manufacturer by the HART Communication Foundation. Consult the documentation for the transmitter if
you do not know this number.
 Device type ID
The Device type ID is that which is assigned by the manufacturer identifying a particular device model.
 Device ID
The Device ID is that which is assigned by the manufacture that is unique within the Device type ID for this manufacturer.
