Setting Initial Calibration for a New Gage:
1. To add a calibration record for a brand new gage, click on the Calibration (0) tab, then click on the green Add Calibration button to set the following fields:
- Calibration Date: For a new gage, set it to today's date
- Condition Before: In-Spec
- Condition After: In-Spec
- Action Taken: None
- Frequency: 12 Months (or as needed)
2. 1factory will calculate the next Calibration Due Date based on the calibration date and frequency you set above.
Updating Calibration for an existing Gage:
1. After a gage has been returned by the calibration vendor (this could be your own internal lab), you must follow the steps above and update the following fields
- Calibration Date: For a new gage, set it to today's date
- Condition Before: In-Spec or Out of Spec
- Condition After: In-Spec or Out of Spec
- Action Taken: Adjust or Repair
- Frequency: 12 Months (or as needed)
2. Once again, 1factory will calculate the next Calibration Due Date based on the calibration date and frequency you set above.
3. The gage will be available for use if the "Condition After" is set to In-Spec. However, if the "Condition After" is set to "Out-of-Spec", the gage will not be available for use.
If this is an "In-House Calibration", you can fill out the calibration table with the appropriate functions:
