Instrument
Note: The Instrument editing screen is for legacy
CP instruments only. For CP Flowsheets version 1 (patch MD*1.0*16), all
instrument information required will be exported as part of the centrally
maintained mapping files. Editing these fields is unnecessary for those
instruments using the new CP Gateway Service and the MDHL IN logical link.
Using CP Console, you can add
new instruments along with descriptions and capabilities, as well as modify descriptions
and capabilities of existing instruments. You enter parameters for instrument
attachment processing
and for instruments with bi-directional
capabilities.
You can also update information pertaining to instruments
already supported by CP Legacy. You need to select the Active check box
for an instrument to make it available in CP Flowsheets.
