Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports

8 – 23

For each string you define, you can specify the “event.” In specifying the
event, you are defining the conditions which must be met, upon completion
of an inspection, in order for a given string to be transmitted.

For example, you can specify that the string is always transmitted (or
displayed) upon completion of an inspection (this is the default setting). Or,
you can set other conditions – you can specify that the string is sent only if a
particular gage or window fails the inspection, for example.

To begin to define the event for a string, first access the

Event

menu. For

either a viewport or serial port string:

•

Pick the

Event

box on the

Define String

menu. The

Event

menu (for

serial ports) is illustrated in Figure 8.4:

consisting of four event source boxes, and the source condition box (the
