What to put in 'Distribution reference' on forms?

[HappyHippyDad]

This is something I've been meaning to ask for sometime.

What do you guys put for 'Distribution reference, or distribution reference number' on the forms? Sometimes there is what looks like a specific number on the CU, but more often than not there is nothing to distinguish a particular CU.

PS... If someone could answer fairly quickly please as I'm watching 'The Evil Dead'..... alone.... in a remote, old house.

distribution reference number

The tomb of hell that's been assigned to you?

I heard they made a remake ? Not that i'd be interested in that. Still weighing up if my kids are old enough yet to watch the original. I have so many horror films to show them.

As for the db thing, call it what you want. Once you put a label on it, it's named. Call it Malcolm, or Sandra.

I new I shouldn't have added the bit about the Evil Dead as now noone will actually answer the question!

Are you referring to DB reference?
Either leave it blank if there is only one, or call it #1.
If there is more than one, either give each a # or a description.

If they aren't already labelled then I would generally begin at DB1 and make my way from there.

Just to lighten the mood - one place I worked we had boards Larry, Curly and Moe .

Agreed. As an aside (more relevant in commercial) when a board is retired or replaced, unless the circuit arrangement of the replacement is an absolute 'like for like', it is good practice to retire the former DB number, as opposed to reusing that DB number. This is to avoid any confusion in documentation that may exist referring to a former board layout.

Wait - that was staff names, not DB.

Bet that was a barrel of laughs.

Lol. For a reason I can’t explain I always call it main when there is only one. Probably thinking main(s) or the main one. Dunno, never really thought about it until now. DB1 works though.

I call mine A. The db that is.

 

[Pete999]

Dy mo tape label on DB ie, db1 Call it that or Robert if you want.

Was having a chat with a 2391 tutor today.
He was telling me that we can have 2 METs.
