Add Measurement

Explanation

You can specify the measurements that must be recorded to complete a routine task or corrective task for a fault by adding measurements to a task.

You can add measurement values at the point of adding the measurement or later when you record work for the task.

Distance measurement values can also be recorded with the aid of LiDAR enabled devices, which allow you to measure the distance between 2 points without any physical tools. A LiDAR enabled device has a LiDAR Scanner. To verify if your iOS device has a LiDAR scanner, visit the apple website and search for the mention of a LiDAR scanner in the technical specifications. After recording the distance between two measurement points, you can capture a screenshot of the measurements using the LiDAR camera. This is then uploaded as media for the measurement on the task.

You can also remove measurements from a task provided that the measurement has not yet been signed off when recording work.

Prerequisites

• The status of the task is Active or In Work.
• Measurement Basic Data must be predefined in Aviation Maintenance/Basic Data.
• LiDAR based distance measuring is only supported on LiDAR capable iOS devices.
• Supported units of measure for LiDAR are cm, m, in and ft.
• The ALLOW_LIDAR_MEDIA_ATTACHMENTS application parameter must be set to TRUE to enable automatic media attachment.

System Effects

• The measurement is added to the task and can be viewed from the Task Details page.
• If a screenshot was capture along with a measurement value using a LiDAR device, a media file of the LiDAR measurement screenshot is uploaded for the measurement and can be viewed using the web application in the Media pane at the bottom of Task Details page.

Procedure
