Calibration Status Reset

Scenario

In the following article we are introducing you to an automation which you can use to change the devices, instruments statuses every morning.
In this scenario the devices/instruments need to be calibrated before their first use, and the calibrated status is maintained until the start of the first shift the following day. Every day, before starting work, the devices status must be reset to CALIBRATION REQUIRED.

Flow of the automation

Configure automation

Pre-requisites

The automation uses a Tulip table connector function to retrieve records from the table that need to be modified. The connector is installed on the instance along with the automation. For the connector to work properly, a few simple settings need to be configured:

Set the authentication

1. Create an API token on the instance that has the necessary permissions to read the Tulip tables. If an API token with the required access already exists, this step can be skipped.

2. Enter the API token details in the connector for authentication.

Set your server address

Along with the authentication of the connector, the server address must also be configured. Under the connector environment settings, paste the instance URL into the server address field for the environment where you want to use the automation.

To adjust the automation for a different table

If you want to use the automation with a different table, you need to change the table ID in the Get all records from the Instruments table function, which is located under the Connector for Tulip table manipulations connector. Simply update the table ID to the one corresponding to the table from which you wish to retrieve the list.

Once the connector function has been modified, you only need to update the table data in the automation. Under the block configuration, find the appropriate table under the table field, then select the calibration status field from the fields list and set the desired status.
