Run time

At run time this graphic initially opens up with no characteristic selected. It will populate the list with the available characteristics defined on the SRO.

To begin using the graphic, select one of the characteristics in the list, which will map all the inputs to the appropriate custom properties and will display the MES characteristic name.

The SampleID property must be set to indicate what sample record for the selected characteristic is to be updated by the command. The sample ID can be any valid sample in the database that contains the selected characteristic. It does not have to be a sample that exists for the entity containing the SRO. If the characteristic selected is marked for automatic data collection in the SRO, then the sample ID cannot be changed and will always be set to the most recent sample ID for the entity and characteristic. This is because the SRO constantly updates this property for automatically collected characteristics.

• Clicking the Record Sample Char Data button updates the sample characteristic record with the provided information. The Operator field is not used with this command as it is for recording results.

• Clicking the Clear button clears out all the values except Characteristic, SampleID, and Operator.

• Clicking the R button next to the error message resets the command group. If there is an error in the error message box, the sample characteristic group must be reset before calling another command. If the SRO is not configured to auto-reset the object, the sample characteristic group must be reset before calling another command.

• Clicking the More Info button shows additional information about the selected characteristic. See QualityCharacteristicOutput.

• Clicking the Statistics button shows additional information about the exposed statistics for the selected characteristic. If no statistics are exposed for the selected characteristic, this button is not displayed. See QualityCharacteristicStatistics.
