	Fixed Interval – Select this option if calibration must be carried out on equipment after the specified period in the “Interval” field has lapsed, irrespective of whether the previous calibration is completed or not.
	Actual Interval – Select this option if calibration must be carried out on equipment after the specified period in the “Interval” field has lapsed, and only after the previous calibration is completed.

The system displays the following field:

Next Due Date

The date on which the next calibration is due to be performed on the equipment. The system displays the next due date only if you have selected “Fixed Interval” in the “Interval Type” field.

Enter the following field:

Extended Date	The date on which you wish to start the calibration (Date Format).
Adjust Next Due Date?	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether you wish to adjust the subsequent dates on which calibration must be carried out based on the date entered in the “Extended Date” field. The system provides the options: “Yes” and “No”. Do not leave this field blank, if you have specified a date in the “Extended Date” field.

The system displays the following field:

Last CO Generated	The last calibration order that has been generated for carrying out calibration schedule.
Last CO Sch. Start Date	The date on which the last calibration order was scheduled to start.
Last CO Closing Date	The date on which the last calibration order was scheduled to be closed.

Enter the following fields in the “Interval Based Usage Sch.” multiline if you wish to define schedules based on usage for the equipment:

Parameter	The parameter based on which the calibration must be done on the equipment (Alphanumeric, 30). This field cannot be modified. If you are entering a new parameter, ensure the following:
	The parameter is already defined as a consumption parameter in the “Create Parameter” activity of the “Equipment Induction” business component and is in the “Active” status.
	The parameter has already been attached to the equipment in the “Create Equipment” activity.
	The parameter is unique to the multiline.
	Help facility available
	Press <Enter>. The interval unit is retrieved in the “Interval Unit” column in the multiline.
Interval	The value of the parameter after which calibration must be carried out (Decimal). This field should not be left blank, if a parameter has been specified in the “Parameter” field. Ensure that the interval is a positive number.

The system displays the following field in the multiline:

Interval Unit	The unit of measurement of the parameter.
Next Due Value	The value of the parameter at which the next calibration on the equipment is due.

Enter the following field in the multiline:

Extended Value	The value of the parameter at which you wish to carry out the calibration on the equipment (Decimal). Ensure the following when you enter the value in this field:
	The value entered here is a positive number.
	The value entered here is more than the present value of the parameter.
Adjust Next Due Value?	Use the drop-down list box to specify whether you wish to adjust the next due parameter values on which calibration must be carried out, based on the value entered in the “Extended Value” field. The system provides the options: “Yes” and “No”. Do not leave this field blank, if you have specified a value in the “Extended Value” field in the multiline.

The system displays the following fields in the multiline:

Last CO No.	The number of the last calibration order that was raised for carrying out the calibration.
Value At Last CO	The parameter value at which the last calibration order was raised for carrying out the calibration on the equipment.
Date Of Last CO	The date on which the last calibration order was raised on the equipment.
Value at Last Meter Reset	The parameter value as on the last meter reset.

Click any one of the following options in the “Execution Option” group box:

Calendar and Usage Sch. Independently	Click this button if you wish to generate calibration orders for the calendar-based schedule and for every parameter in the usage-based schedules.
whichever earlier	Click this button if you wish to generate a calibration order for the earliest of the calendar-based or the usage-based schedules.
Calendar and whichever earlier in Usage	Click this option if you wish to generate calibration orders for the calendar-based schedule and for the earliest of the parameters in the usage-based schedules.

Click the “Edit” pushbutton to create interval-based schedules.

Note: The system saves the details of the interval-based schedules.

The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:

Created By	The login ID of the user who created the schedule.
Created Date	The date and time at which the schedule was created.
Last Modified By	The login ID of the user who last modified the schedule.
Last Modified Date	The date and time at which the schedule was last modified.

Editing interval schedules for a calibration schedule – An overview

This page allows you to edit the details of the interval schedules that are already defined.

If you have defined a calendar-based schedule, you can modify the time interval after which the calibration is due to be performed, the unit of the time interval and the type of the interval.

If you are unable to start the work on the calibration on the next due date, you can specify the extended date on which you wish to start the calibration. This can be done only for the calendar-based schedule that is of type “Fixed Interval”. You are also given the option of adjusting the new due date based on the extended date. This can be explained with the help of the following example:

Suppose calibration is due to be performed on April 1and an interval of one week is provided for carrying out the next calibration. If you have entered an extended date of April 3 and have set the option of adjusting the next due date as “Yes”, the system recalculates the next due dates as April 3, April 10, April 17and so on. If you have set the option of adjusting the next due date as “No”, the system arrives at the next due dates as April 3, April 8, April 15 and so on.

If you have defined a usage-based schedule, you can redefine the parameters based on which the calibration must be done and the value of the parameter after which the calibration must be done. If you are not able to perform the calibration on the specified parameter value, you can enter the extended value based on which the calibration can be performed. You can also specify whether the subsequent parameter values must be adjusted or not, based on the extended parameter value.

The system displays the details of the last calibration order that has been carried out, based on the calibration schedule along with the date on which it was performed. .
