The Deviation (DevCal) Data-Base
When you "Evaluate A Deviation" using CALSoft, the information related to the evaluation is stored in
a database referred to as the "Dev-Cal Database".
For more information related to the database
file and it's location, see Process Database.
When you begin to Evaluate a Deviation with CALSoft, a new record is created in the Dev-Cal
Database. This is referred to as the Dev-Cal Record Number and is the main reference to that
Evaluation. The Dev-Cal Record Number is displayed on the final printed Deviation Evaluation
report and also on the main dashboard of the Evaluate Deviation page.

Evaluating a Deviation using CALSoft
CALSoft is a tool that enables Process Authorities the ability to evaluate processing deviations using
the Ball Formula method, heating factors properly derived from heat penetration data from the
product in question, and the actual Retort Temperature (RT) and Initial Temperature (IT). The Ball
Formula will calculate an estimated Fo value for the cook parameters provided. The Process
Authority must ultimately make the decision whether to release or hold/destroy the affected
product.
Select the Deviations section and then click the NEW button to begin a new Deviation Evaluation.
