Loops are used to manage a set of instruments that function together in a set process. Loops are used to manage the calibration of related instruments as one group, using one frequency. This allows for easier management of multiple instruments by performing a single calibration to satisfy the requirements of all instruments associated with the Loop. Company- This button opens the Company screen. From here, you can modify the record for the Company. The company’s general information, addresses, system options, and default reports are stored in this screen.
