General Overview
The Chromeleon software supports functions for estimating the lifetime of consumables and for monitoring and recording service and qualification information about the device. These functions are called Predictive Performance. They allow you to schedule maintenance procedures based on the actual operating and usage conditions of the device.
On special wellness, service, and qualification panels, you can define intervals for replacing components that are subject to wear or stress and for service procedures or qualification procedures. In addition, you can set limits to alert you before and when the replacement, service, or qualification is due.
Color-coded bars on special panels provide visual feedback, allowing you to easily check and monitor the status. If a warning limit was set, a message in the Chromeleon Audit Trail alerts you when the action is due.
Some counters can be reset to zero after the required action was performed. To keep the Predictive Performance information up-to-date, consider resetting the counter when a maintenance, service, or qualification procedure has been performed.
For more information, refer to the Chromeleon Help.
