This is where you add the gages into the database or edit the existing ones. The fields displayed here are user definable in the Settings. There can be as many or as few as you want.
Generate S/N - This is a handy button for finding the next serial number to use. If you use a system of consecutive numbers like 1001, 1002, 1003 etc., pressing this button will find the highest number already used and enter the next higher into the Serial Number box. If you want to use a standard prefix on the serial number, put the prefix in the Settings page. This will only work on a database field named "GageSN" and when all the serial numbers have the same format.
Copy to New Gage - This will create a new gage and copy all the data to it except for the Serial Number.
Add New Gage - This will create a new blank gage. The data is automatically saved when you navigate to a new gage.
Test Points - This is where you enter the items that need to be tested during the calibration. This list is displayed on the calibration page every time you make a new calibration so you can fill in the actual results of these required tests. To add more rows for new test points press the down arrow key or the insert key.
Picture and Memo fields
- In most places in Gage Control, in the grids and edit boxes, if a field has
"PICTURE" or "MEMO" in the field name, then edit widows or file browsers popup
when when the cell is double-clicked. In Gage Control you don't put pictures in
the database, you only put the filename into a field. The pictures are
displayed on the Edit Gage page when it finds the filename.
If there is a
field in the database named "PictureLink" and it has a filename in it, that
picture file will be loaded into the area on the right.
Forward and Back buttons move to the next or previous item in the Find Gage grid on Find Gage page.
