Understand reading characteristics data

Output.RecentSampleID

Specifies the ID of the most recent sample linked to the characteristic

Output.SpecName

Specifies the name of the specification that is used to generate the sample

Output.StartEffDate

Specifies the start effective date and time (in local time) of the QM specification

Output.UnitofMeasurement

Specifies the unit of measurement for a characteristic

Output.MinSampleSize

Specifies the minimum sample size for the sample characteristic.

If you override the minimum sample size of a characteristic for a particular QM specification, and if the specification is applied to the current situation, the override value is used for minimum sample size.

Otherwise, it uses the minimum sample size for the characteristic.

Output.NormalSampleSize

Specifies the normal sample size for the sample characteristic.

If you choose to override the normal sample size of a characteristic for a certain QM specification, and the specification is applied to the current situation, the minimum sample size is used.

Otherwise, it uses the normal sample size for the characteristic.

Output.MaxSampleSize

Specifies the maximum sample size for the sample characteristic

If you choose to override the maximum sample size of a characteristic for a certain QM specification, and the specification is applied to the current situation, the minimum sample size is used.

Otherwise, it uses the maximum sample size for the characteristic.

Output.Severity

Specifies the severity description for the characteristic

Output.SeverityCd

Specifies the severity code for the characteristic

Output.DefaultChart

Specifies the default chart for the characteristic

Output.DefaultChartCd

Specifies the default chart code for the characteristic

Output.LRL

Specifies the lower reasonable limit for the characteristic

The LRL is calculated from the qm_spec that is used to generate the sample.

Output.URL

Specifies the upper reasonable limit for the characteristic

The URL is calculated from the qm_spec that is used to generate the sample.

Output.ErrorCode

Specifies the error number that identifies the error

Output.ErrorMessage

Specifies the error message that contains a description of the error

Output.Status

Ready indicates the last data read from the MES middleware is of good quality.

Busy indicates the object is currently updating itself with the characteristic data linked to the most recent sample data received from the middleware.
The status of the recent sample is set to Busy when the object receives a data update from the middleware.

Error indicates the object is not able to read the subscribed data from the middleware. The error code and error message are updated with the message received from the middleware.
