7.2 Use Cases

7.2.1 Base information on calibration targets

The operator wants to be able to see what calibration targets are available, what their properties are (quantity and value the target represents) and the environmental conditions they may be used in. Additionally, the operator wants to be able to uniquely identify each target.

7.2.2 Information on validity of calibration targets

A member of the Quality Management department wants to be able to see the last validation date of a target and if available, the quality (Information on the wear and tear of that target) and the date the target has to be revalidated next. If available, the member wants to access external certificates associated with this target.

7.2.3 Using devices as calibration targets

The operator wants to be able to use devices providing a specific value of a quantity as calibration targets.

7.2.4 Qualification of calibration targets

The operator wants to be able to qualify workpieces as calibration targets, by using precision measuring equipment on them and use those qualified pieces as calibration targets.

Note: Instead of the workpiece the calibration target can also be the measurement of the quantity provided by a device with the precision measuring equipment.

7.2.5 Management of calibration targets destroyed during calibration

The operator wants to be able to manage batches of calibration targets, that are used for calibration processes destroying the target.
