Equipment/Device Data Screen (Device Data tab)
The Equipment/Device Data screen provides detailed information about equipment. It can be opened from various screens by clicking on the serial number of the equipment. The most common way to open it is through the Equipment List screen, which is described in the steps below. The Equipment List screen offers an overview of the equipment, while this screen provides detailed information.
The Equipment/Device Data screen has up to seven tabs. This help topic discusses the information found under the Device Data tab. This tab provides identification information about the equipment as well as: status, alarm contacts, scheduled preventative maintenance tasks, alarm history, cycle tapes, real-time temperature and pressure (if the equipment relies on these), etc.
Perform the following steps to access the Equipment/Device Data screen with the Device Data tab selected.
Steps
Step 1. Click on the Equipment icon in the menu. The Equipment List screen displays.

Step 2. Find the equipment you want to see more information about and click on its serial number. Its Equipment/Device Data screen displays with the Device Data tab selected.
NOTE: The gauges and the Remote Monitoring summary can be seen only if your facility has the Remote Monitor subscription and your account was setup to allow you access to remote monitoring features. Not all equipment display gauges. For example, if the equipment does not have a chamber, then the Chamber Temperature gauge and Chamber Pressure gauge do not display.
