Creating Measuring Points When Processing a Technical Object 

  1. In the create or change mode, call up the technical object that you want to create measuring points for.

    2. For more information on how to create or change a technical object, see the documentation PM - Structuring Technical Systems.

  2. Call up one of the master record screens of the technical object.
  3. Choose Extras ® Measuring points/counters.

    4. The overview screen for maintaining measuring points and counters for the object is displayed.

  4. For each measuring point that you want to assign to the technical object, fill out the two lines provided with the necessary data.

    5. Bear in mind the following rules:

    If you want to enter quantitative measurement results for the measuring point (for example, 20 degrees Celsius, 10 cm, 300 ampere, 1000 candela), you must assign a numerical characteristic to it with the required unit.

    If you want to enter qualitative measurement results for the measuring point (for example, sufficient, low, too high, too dry), you must assign the required code group to it.

    If the entry of qualitative measurement results in the form of an evaluation code is sufficient for a measuring point, you do not need to enter any characteristics for the measuring point. You just specify a code group and later select the field ValCode sufficient in the detail screen with the general data for the measuring point.

    If you want, you can assign both a characteristic and a code group to a measuring point.

  5. After you have made all the necessary entries, choose Continue.

    6. The system then assigns a number from an internal number range to each measuring point.

    If you have already entered the measurement position for each measuring point, the system sorts the measuring points according to entries in the field MeasPosition.

  6. For further processing of the measuring points, you must switch to individual processing for each measuring point.

    7. To do this, select the measuring point that you want to process, and choose Goto ® MeasPoint.

    This brings you to the detail screen for the measuring point, where you can maintain its general data.

  7. Enter data as required.

If the entry of qualitative measurement results is sufficient for a measuring point, and you have therefore only entered a code group (no characteristic) for it, select the field ValCode sufficient.

Make any other necessary entries. For more information on this, see the detailed descriptions in the following topics:
  1. Return to the master record screen of the technical object, from which you called up measuring point processing.
  2. Save the master record.
