vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
4.4.5 Recall Last Device
When you press the Save button of the Equipment Information Editor, a backup of some of the
information fields on the menu is stored. This backup is independent of the test and will be maintained
regardless of whether a test in progress is completed or cancelled. If a test is completed and a Test Record is
saved, vPad-IV clears the equipment information to prepare for the next test, however, the information
backup remains and may be restored with the
Recall Last button after the next test is started. Thus, you
can use
Recall Last
in incoming inspection activity which often involves testing of multiple devices of the
same make and model but differing ID and serial number.
The following fields are restored by the Recall Last function:
• Description
• Manufacturer
• Model
• Facility
• Technician
• Next Test Due Date
• Work Order Type
The following fields are not modified by
Recall Last
:
• Control No./ID
• Serial Number
• Work Order
4.4.6 Equipment Records
Each time vPad-IV completes a test and saves a Test Record, an Equipment Record is also saved by the
app. Equipment Records are identified by ID or control number and include all the text fields shown by the
Equipment Information Editor, except for the work order. The Equipment Record also includes a
filename
for the test setup or AutoSequence that was used to test the device.
When you start a new test, input of an equipment ID or control number causes vPad-IV to search for a
corresponding Equipment Record. If an Equipment Record is found, you can then open the Record and
recall the equipment information and test setup which is stored in it. This saves time and effort in starting a
new test for device which was tested in the past.
