ADX Software Overview
Setting up Assets and Related Elements
An Asset is the device being tested.
Best practice is to set up an Asset with at least one Test Configuration to
provide optimal features.
NOTE: Proper permissions are required to create and edit Assets, Test Configurations, and other related
elements. The Lead Technician (password: BAKER) and Customer Admin (assigned password required)
users have the required permissions for creating and editing Assets and related elements.
The ADX software is Asset-centric: when you pick an Asset, you select everything you need to test that Asset. The idea
is to allow operators to select an Asset so they can simply run a test. Tests will be run using the correct configuration
parameters and limits, proper test sequence, and more—everything is linked to the Asset so the system knows how to
test it. Test results are saved to the specific Asset with all related information for analysis and reporting.
Assets have up to four related elements within the system:
Test Configuration
—provides the testing specifications you want to apply to the Asset.
Installation
—defines where the Asset is installed so operators know where to find the Asset.
Route
—defines a list of Assets and their Installations for scheduling periodic testing of multiple Assets.
Sequence
—defines the types of tests to run in a specific order—along with relevant process information—when
the preference is to execute a series of tests in a fully automated session.

Example application: two Assets on separate machine installations in one “Pumps” section.
To optimize system performance, proper setup is needed. Ideally, Test Configuration and Asset setup are completed
before an Asset is tested. Defining the relationship between Assets, Installations, and Routes ensures that operators
always know where to find an Asset when it requires service or maintenance.
ADX software configuration includes (in optimal order of completion):
1. Creating new or editing existing Test Configurations.
2. Creating new or editing existing Assets, including assigning Test Configurations and Sequences.
3. Creating new or editing existing Installations, and assigning Assets.
4. Creating new or editing existing Routes, and assigning Installations and Assets.
Organizations often assign an administrator to set up Assets and Test Configurations, leaving operators to focus
