include the hash value of a calibration-report file #8

If the data of a calibration report is stored in an external file (i.e., not stored within the equipment-register file itself), the file element should contain a, for example, sha256 subelement that represents the hash value of the calibration-report file.

Yes this is a good idea. Perhaps it might be worth clarifying that this hash value is equivalent to the checksum and/or provide a link to some guidance on how to generate the hash value if not the standard checksum used by MSL already?

Good idea about adding guidance on how to calculate it.

If you build and view the docs, the popup help window for the <sha256> element is as follows
