Our current system of identifying each and every instrument is outdated yet we can't think of a better way of doing it.
At the moment we have three letters and three numbers ie:
TRP001 for pressure transducer number one
GRP755 for pressure gauge number seven hundred and fifty five
TME1455 for thermocouple one thousand four hundred and fifty five
OSD002 for digital oscilloscope number two
The trouble is there are a lot of scrapped intstrument so all the early numbers no longer exist, only as a listing of 'scrapped'. As we are thinking of changing our database management software (beamex is the favourite so far!) we need to get the instruments down to less than 10k in number, hence the need to take off all the old intruments listed as scrapped or missing.
Has any body got any suggestions as to how we best identify each and every newer intrument we have? What system do you use for registering your instruments?
