7.4.3 Predictive Performance
The Chromeleon software supports functions for monitoring and
recording service and qualification information about the device.
Monitoring service and qualification intervals
On special service and qualification panels, you can define intervals for
service procedures or qualification procedures. These functions, which
are called Predictive Performance, allow you to schedule these
procedures based on the actual operating and usage conditions of the
device. In addition, you can set limits to alert you before and when the
service or qualification is due.
Color-coded bars provide visual feedback, allowing you to easily check
and monitor the status. If a warning limit was set, a message in the
Chromeleon Audit Trail alerts you when the action is due.
Service and qualification counters can be reset to zero after the required
action was performed. To keep the Predictive Performance information
up-to-date, consider resetting the counter when a service, or
qualification procedure has been performed.
