Configure characteristic attributes and commands

In Object Editor, the Characteristics tab includes attributes and commands for interacting with the characteristic results within a sample associated with the entity that is a part of the SRO instance.

Any given sample can have more than one characteristic to capture. The SRO can be configured to monitor multiple characteristics at a time and to interact with the samples. Each characteristic is monitored to do the following:

• Provide attributes for writing the contextual data that can be changed, such as notes and causes.

• Provide ReadOnly attributes for fixed data, such as statistical results.

• Provide attributes for writing characteristic results.

Characteristics may be captured automatically from an I/O source and may contain multiple measurements.

Note: You must configure SRO at design time to expose the Characteristic tab, so that you can record data for a characteristic within a sample.

You can configure one or more characteristics in the Characteristics tab. You can map the individual attributes of a characteristic to the I/O tags.
