Chapter 8
Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports
8 – 26
•
With a Gage , Window , or Formula selected, the options are:
– Print if Enabled – String sent at the completion of each inspection, as
long as the specified event source (tool or formula) is enabled.
– Print on PASS – String sent only if the event source (tool or formula)
passes the inspection.
– Print on WARN – String sent only if the result for the event source
(tool or formula) exceeds warning range limits but does not fail.
– Print on FAIL – String sent only if the result for the event source (tool
or formula) fails the inspection.
Selecting the Interval
Once you have defined the event source and source condition, you can
further define the event by specifying an interval for transmitting or
displaying the string. You specify the interval by using the box which reads
Print Every ... on the Event menu.
What the interval is – When you first access the Event menu, the interval box
reads Print Every 1 . At this setting, the Color CVIM module checks the
event condition at the completion of each inspection to determine if the
string is sent (see the previous sections, “Selecting the Event Source” and
“Selecting the Source Condition”). You can specify that the Color CVIM
module does not check the event (and thus does not transmit or display the
string) after each inspection, but only checks the event at some interval –
every third inspection, every fifth inspection, etc. You do this by setting the
interval; the range is 1 to 32767.
For example, if you set the interval box (the Print Every 1 . . . box in the
diagram) to read 5 , the Color CVIM module does not check the event for
every inspection, but only for every fifth inspection. This checking is based
on the count of processed triggers.
