6 Maximo user s Guide AddendumIBM SupportIBM Software Support provides assistance with product contacting IBM Software Support, your company must have an active IBM software maintenance contract, and you must be authorized to submit problems to IBM. For information about the types of maintenance contracts available, see "Enhanced Support," in the Software Support Handbook at the following steps to contact IBM Software Support with a problem:1 Define the problem, gather background information, and determine the severity of the problem. For help, see the "Contacting IBM," in the Software Support Handbook at diagnostic your problem to IBM Software Support in one of the following ways: IBM Maximo Reconciliation Module Implementation GuideDescribes how to use the IBM Maximo Reconciliation module to reconcile the two types of information that IBM Maximo maintains about information technology (IT) assets: TIT asset dataTDeployed asset Maximo Report Administration and Development GuideDescribes how to use Actuate to design and administer IBM Maximo Maximo System Administrator s GuideDescribes database configuration, security, and other administrative level applications and Maximo user s GuideProvides an overview of the Maximo end user applications.

The APAR describes the problem in detail. Whenever possible, IBM Software Support provides a workaround that you can implement until the APAR is resolved and a fix is delivered.

8 IBM publishes resolved APARs on the Software Support Web site daily, so that other users who experience the same problem can benefit from the same SupportviiiIBM Maximo Calibration: Maximo user s Guide Addendum Copyright IBM Corp. 20071-1 PurposeYou use Calibration to enter and track the calibration of instruments that measure process variables such as temperature, pressure, and lets you to maintain a historical record of calibration measurements for instruments and measurement and test equipment (M&TE). In addition, you can track a historical record of the calibration instrument (standard) used to calibrate a specific instrument or M& has one new application and specific tabs in five Maximo Specific ApplicationsTAssets (Cal) ApplicationTTools (Cal) ApplicationTStocked Tools (Cal) ApplicationTJob Plans (Cal) ApplicationTLocations (Cal) ApplicationTMaster PMs (Cal) ApplicationTOrganizations (Cal) ApplicationTPreventive Maintenance (Cal) ApplicationTWork Order Tracking (Cal)

9 ApplicationTData Sheet TemplateGlossary of Calibration TerminologyThe following terms are commonly used by those performing calibration IBM Maximo Calibration1 TermDefinitionAnalog Data SheetAn analog data sheet defines the necessary information to calibrate an analog instrument or M&TE (for example, a gauge or transmitter). You define the data sheet in the Data Sheet Template application. Glossary of Calibration Terminology1-2 IBM Maximo Calibration: Maximo user s Guide AddendumAsset FunctionWhile a data sheet lets you enter calibration data for a specific asset, it also allows the user to enter calibration data for one or more functions that asset may perform. For example, a tablet tester measures both mass and length. The use of asset functions allows the user to specify the unique attributes of each function.

10 You can create a single data sheet that encompasses all of the asset's functions instead of creating separate data comparison of an instrument s performance to a standard of known accuracy. The objective of calibration is to ensure that an instrument s output properly corresponds to its applied PointThe specific calibration requirement for each asset function. For example, a three-point check at 20%, 50%, and 75% calibrations points of an input Range on Nominal Limit ValuesYou can specify that Maximo clips or limits the Range on Nominal lower and upper limit values for analog functions to the lower and upper input calibrated range of the asset function. Selecting the Limits Clipped check box lets you calibrate an asset within its input Tolerance Limit ValuesYou can specify that Maximo clips or limits the Tolerance lower and upper limit values for analog functions to the lower and upper output calibrated range of the asset function.
