The Process Units window is used to add, edit and delete process units and process properties (types of process units), and to specify which process unit within each process property is the default.
To access this window, select Setup > Process Units from the Project tab.
Initially, the window displays all units of all process properties.
To add a new process unit
-
Select the process property of the new unit from the drop-down list.
The list of process units then changes to display only the process units of the selected process property (select ALL from the drop down list to return to window to displaying all units).
-
Click Add Item.
A new row of fields is added to the bottom of the list.
-
Enter the details of the new unit in these fields.
-
To edit an existing type, click in the unit row and edit the details as required.
-
To delete an existing unit, select the unit row and click Remove Item. A message is displayed requesting that the deletion be confirmed. Click Yes to proceed.
-
To set a unit as the default unit for a process property, check its Default checkbox.
If a unit is set as the default, and if the Apply Default Units checkbox of the Process Data grid is checked, when a value of the unit's process property is entered for an instrument in the Process Data grid, this unit is automatically applied to that value and added to it in the grid.
-
To create a new process property, select the empty space in the drop down list (beneath ALL in the list), and enter the name of the new process property. Click Add New Process Property. A process property with the entered name is then created.
-
To delete a process property, delete all the units of that property.
-
To save changes and exit the window, click Save.
If more than one unit within a process property has been set as the default, a message is displayed informing you of this. The save will not take place and the window will remain open. Rectify the problem and then click Save again.
-
To exit the window without saving any changes, click Cancel.
