This dialog appears when selecting Operation Data from the procedure's context menu (by right-clicking on a procedure icon) when there’s only one operation in the queue of the procedure, or when selecting Operation Data } <Op-Name> when the queue has more than one operation. For an overview of the contents of this dialog, see The Input/Output (i/o) Simulation Dialog. The dialog has several tabs:
● Oper Cond’s tab: The contents of this tab depend on the operation type (Charge, Reaction, etc.); there may be one or more tabs following this tab (e.g. ‘Volumes’ tab, ‘Reactions’ tab, etc.) and before the ‘Labor, etc.’ tab. that also depend on the type of operation. The following tabs, present the common properties of all operations and are present in every operation’s i/o simulation dialog (regardless of type).
● Operations Dialog: Labor etc. Tab: Presents common variables to all operations that deal with: (a) Labor requirements for the execution of the operation. and (b) Auxiliary utilities (heating, cooling or power) unaccounted by the operation’s model.
● Operations Dialog: Description Tab: Displays to the user how the application will describer the activity carried out by the operation (engaging specific operating variables like amount charged, target temperature, etc.) and alows the user to overwrite it (if needed). It also allows the user to associated any comments that may need to be associated with the specific operation (for documentation or operating instruction purposes).
● Operations Dialog: Batch Sheet Tab: Presents the template file that is to be used when entering a detailed description of the operation’s activity in the batch sheet. Each operation type has its own default template (provided by the application) that presents in specific terms the action of the operation, but users may design their own template (customized for their own needs).
● Operations Dialog: Scheduling Tab: Presents all the scheduling-related parameters of the operation. For more details, see Operation-Level Scheduling Information.
