Documenting calibrators
With the optional Calibration Assistant SNAP-ON application, a documenting
calibrator can be used to automate the collection of device calibration data.
When the documenting calibrator is connected to AMS Device Manager, test
definitions can be checked out (downloaded) to the calibrator. The calibrator is then
attached to the corresponding field device, tests are run, and data is collected. This
data can then be checked in (uploaded) to AMS Device Manager for electronic record
keeping and report generation.
Refer to the current Release Notes for a list of supported documenting calibrators and
pertinent information about individual calibrators. Refer to the AMS Device Manager
Supported Device List to determine if a device supports calibration.

1. Select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Network Configuration
from the Windows taskbar.
