Adding Rectifier Negative Inspections
If rectifier negative records have not yet been added in the Rectifier Negative Information mini-grid, complete the procedure in the previous section first (Adding Rectifier Negative Information) and then continue with the procedure in this section.
To enter negative inspection readings in the Rectifier Negative Inspection mini-grid, follow these steps:
1 Click the Select ROWs button to open the Select ROWs window (Figure 7-154). Select the pipeline segment(s) with the rectifier you want to work with, then click Save to close the window.
Figure 7-154. Select ROWs
2 Open the Edit CPDM Data window. Click Data Entry > Edit CPDM Data.
3 Open the Rectifier Inspection grid. Click the Inspection tab and then the Rectifier button .
4 If you want to collapse the Selected ROWs panel to view more of the grid, click the Selected ROWs bar. Clicking the bar again expands the panel.
5 Select a row of records in the Rectifier Inspection grid with the rectifier and negatives you want to add negative inspection readings. For example, the record for pipeline segment T-1401 with rectifier R-201 is selected in the following figure (Figure 7-155).

6 If the Rectifier Negative Inspections mini-grid is not visible, double-click the Rectifier Negati... button at the bottom of the window to open the mini-grid. Click the minimize button of all other mini-grids to hide them.
7 Select a row of records in the Rectifier Negative Inspections mini-grid and then click Add.
8 If the rectifier output current has been adjusted and the check box Rectifier Current Adjusted is enabled in the Inspection grid, complete the following steps: in the Rectifier Negative Inspections mini-grid:
a Type the amperage reading taken before rectifier adjustments in the field Negative Current Found.
b Type the amperage reading taken after rectifier adjustments in the field Negative Current Left.
9 Type an inspection reading in either the field Negative Shunt Read Found or Negative Shunt Read Left.
10 Click Refresh to update derived fields, such as Number of Negatives shown in Figure 7-155.
Note: For more information about derived fields, refer to Working with Derived Fields.
11 Repeat step 7 through step 10 to enter readings for another negative.
