ME.10:5.1.1 - Configure a Tailoring Aid and Repair Its Failed Check

Extend the constructed calibration setting with a different task: prepare a plan for one named sensor using the permitted choices in the current MethodDescription. This example concerns support for that preparation; it does not report a real calibration or establish its effectiveness. Assume the following domain facts are supplied with the admitted v4 description: the planner may select an approved fixture whose working interval contains the sensor’s required interval, but must retain the prescribed test points, acceptance rule, and unknown-serial stop. The current fixture register already establishes approval and intervals; matching numbers alone would not establish approval. The user’s assignment, permission and required preparation are also assumed independently established for this bounded planning task.

The input is sensor B-17 with a required interval of 0–10 V, description v4, and two current approved fixture entries: F10 covers 0–10 V and F5 covers 0–5 V. The output criterion is a plan naming B-17, the exact v4 edition and a covering fixture, with the unchanged test points, acceptance rule and serial-class stop. Unknown sensor class, absent approval, incompatible units, or an interval not covered by any available fixture must return the specific missing premise before a plan is released for use. This does not authorize actual calibration.

Configure one local planning worksheet to consume those inputs. Its tailoring rule is explicit: establish sensor class and the register’s currentness; check the supplied approval relation and compatible units; require fixture lower bound <= required lower bound and required upper bound <= fixture upper bound; copy the allowed selection into the plan while retaining v4’s fixed operations and stops. Selecting a parameter within these declared options creates a plan for this case; it does not by itself alter reusable Method semantics. If the task needs a new acceptance rule, return to Method design and ME.15 instead of silently editing the template.

In the first constructed planning Work, the worksheet lists both fixtures but checks approval only. The user chooses F5 and obtains a plan labelled ready. The task fails: 5 V does not cover the required upper bound of 10 V. The register and v4 rule are correct, so the repair belongs to the worksheet’s omitted interval check. Add that check before export. In a separate repeat of the same task, F5 is rejected with the uncovered 5–10 V interval, F10 is accepted, and the resulting plan retains the prescribed operations and stops. A further changed-input probe with an unknown serial class stops before fixture selection. These are stipulated Work occurrences in the constructed replay; an actual claim needs its own admitted Work and observations.

The receiving result is bounded: the repaired worksheet supports this permitted plan adaptation under the named edition, register and task conditions. The earlier retrieval result alone supplied none of this evidence. A changed fixture register reopens its coverage and currentness premises; a changed tailoring rule reopens the affected plan construction; a failed repeat returns to the defeated worksheet check. Neither the successful preparation nor the worksheet’s ready label establishes release authority, general user capability, Method fit, or the result of performing the calibration.
