Enter Cable and Destination Details

Cable numbers must be entered if the selected Major Equipment Catalog item for an equipment item has a cable connected to it.

1. Enter the cable number in the cell provided.

   A new cable with this number will be created along with the equipment.

   If the Major Equipment Catalog item for an equipment item has multiple cables connected to it, then that number of cables will be created. If for example a Catalog item for an equipment item has four cables connected to it, and a cable number of "ABC" is entered in the Cable No. field, a cable with that cable number will be created, plus three more called "Copy of ABC", "Copy of ABC(1)", and "Copy of ABC(2)". If a cable number already exists in the database, the copy number will be incremented to make it unique.

2. If the selected catalog item does not have a cable connected, leave this cell blank.

3. If a cable number has been entered, destination equipment may optionally be selected by clicking the button in the Destination column.

   The Select Equipment window is then displayed:

   

4. To select an equipment tag, double-click on the required tag or click on it and then click Select.

   The window is then closed and the number of the specified equipment is displayed in the Destination cell.

5. To create a new equipment tag, select New.

   this displays the Equipment Information window.

6. Create the new equipment as described in Add Field Devices.

   The new equipment is then added to the list in the Select Equipment window.

7. To exit the window without selecting destination equipment, or to de-select destination equipment previously selected so that the other end of the cable is no longer connected, click either Not Connected or Exit.
