You’ve Made a Checklist—Now What?
While the process of making a checklist takes place in your CMMS, using it
takes place inside the medTester with the medCheck option. This begins with
loading the checklist files into the medTester. There are three files that
comprise a checklist and that your CMMS downloads to the medTester:
•
IDN File: Containing equipment identification control numbers
and the checklist names themselves, each associated with a checklist
to run.
•
ITEM File: Containing the checkitems that a checklist calls. A
checkitem is a prompt of something to do or check, an
autosequence, a medTester command, or a command that the
medTester passes through to another instrument. These instruments
can be controlled by the medTester 5000C through a serial cable
attached to the medTester’s COM2 or assigned Wedge port and the
RS-232 port on the analyzer or tester.
•
LIST File: Containing the checklists. Each checklist has a name
and a list of checkitems to execute.
