Instructions for using the template

Layout of the datasheet template

The template is divided into several blocks, with each block containing related information. For example, there is a block with information about the process conditions, another about the sensor element, or yet another about the enclosure …

Each block contains cells on the left with a description of a property on which a choice must be entered in the cells on the right.

Drop-down lists

For many of these cells, a choice can be made from a drop-down list. To do this, first click in the cell and then on the small triangle to the right of the cell. Make a choice from the list and select this choice by clicking on it. Your choice will be automatically entered in the selected cell. With the help of the drop-down lists, you can easily find the right technical term for the desired property.

Some cells do not have a drop-down list because the information that must be entered has endless possibilities. These cells have to be entered directly.

Error messages

The suggested choices from the drop-down lists correspond to what is available from most suppliers. If you think you need something else, you can enter the cell directly without making a choice from the list. However, some cells cannot be entered directly. This is to prevent you from entering something wrong. If you do it anyway, you will receive an error message with explanatory text. There are error messages that you can override and others that oblige you to make a choice from the drop-down list.

Comment blocks

Cells with a red triangle in the upper right corner open up a comment block when you hover over it. The comment relates to what you can enter in the cell or provides an explanation of the possible choices, so you will fully understand the impact of your choice.

Input messages

Every cell that has a drop-down list or a comment block also shows an input message when the cell is clicked. The input message appears in a rectangle below the cell and indicates whether you are obliged to choose from the list or whether you can enter something else. Sometimes the message also gives an extra tip.

Company logo

If you like you can put your own company name or logo in the bottom-left cell of the title block.

Although you can remove the Instrupaedia logo, please be so kind to leave it in so other people who receive this datasheet could also find it on the web and use it to their benefit too.
