Previous Results
When you pick the key, the Previous Results panel appears, as
shown by the example in Figure 7.94.
Figure 7.94 Example: The Previous Results Panel
The Previous Results panel provides two scrolling lists, whose functions
are described as follows:
•
The left list contains the basic results sources from the previous
inspection cycle that are available to a math tool formula.
•
The right list contains the expanded tool results that pertain to the tool
highlighted in the left list.
(Note that unlike the Results panel, the Previous Results panel does not
enable access to previous inspection results from other toolsets.)
Since these basic and expanded results are from the previous inspection
cycle, not the current one, results from all tools in the toolset are available to
a math tool formula, including the tools that follow the math tool in the
toolset edit panel. Otherwise, these results are the same as those that are
described in the Basic Results Sources and Expanded Tool Results sections
on page 7–118.
NOTE: A math tool using a Previous Results formula will always fail the
first inspection, since no “previous results” are available at that time.
When you highlight an entry in the right list (for example) and pick the
button, the entry appears in brackets in the formula entry field of the
keyboard . . .
[Tool 6.Execute]
. . . and the Previous Results panel then exits from the screen. (The
brackets are used to differentiate previous results from current results.)
You will find detailed information about the expanded results selections that
are available to each tool at the end of each tool section in this chapter and in
Chapter 6, Reference Tools.
