The purchasing decision
Ask for sample files and the required geometric or radiometric information. Record the lens and sensor identity, mounting reference and processing assumptions. Let the responsible measurement team decide which changes require recalibration.
Keep these records
- Lens/sensor identity.
- Applicable calibration records.
- Configuration-change review.
Give each record an owner and a revision or date. If a supplier proposes a different part or test condition, record it as an exception for review before treating the quotation as equivalent.
Turn the review into a sourcing request
Start with the linked component checklist, add the actual platform and part identity, and state quantity, destination and timing. List unresolved requirements explicitly so the first discussion can focus on those gaps.
