Chapter 8
Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports
8–42
Recall that we also need to create a second string which will have the effect
of erasing the PART REJECTED string when the inspection passes. One
way to do this is to use the
Copy and Paste features to copy the PART
REJECTED string to another string. This way both the string text, and the
exact string position, are copied.
Once the PART REJECTED string is copied to another string, we change the
Event setting on this new string so that Master Range and Print on PASS
are selected. Next we change the color on the Color Selection menu to
Clear . This way, when the clear string is “displayed” (it will not actually
appear on the screen), it will have the effect of erasing the PART REJECTED
message.
Example 7 – Using Formulas and Plot Line Codes
Recall that it is possible to draw or plot lines, and/or position strings through
the use of draw line or plot line codes, and that it is possible to use the results
of formulas as draw/plot line parameters. The
Tool viewport string in our
example display provides a case in which tool results are used to plot lines
and position strings within the display.
Tool Viewport String
This Tool viewport locates and points out the corner of the part shown in the
monitor image; it also displays the (x, y) coordinates of the corner.
