LaunchSpcChart() method

Use the LaunchSpcChart() method to display an SPC chart of the characteristic selected within a sample. The SPC chart uses the language of the user currently logged in to the Sample Viewer control. The total number of samples and the number of points per page displayed in the chart are based on the QM specification setting linked to the selected characteristic. If there is no setting for the total number of points, all points meeting the filter criterion are displayed. If there is no setting for the number of points per page, then 18 points are displayed by default.

The type of chart displayed on the SPC chart control, when called by the Sample Viewer control, is the default chart of the selected characteristic. Based on the filter flags of the selected characteristic, the information set on the Sample Viewer’s Filter dialog is sent to the SPC Chart control. These filters, sent from the Sample Viewer to the SPC Chart control, contain the following information:

• Entity

• Item

• Work order

• Operation

These filters are a subset of the filters that are used by the SPC Chart control.

For this method to be successful, you must set the LaunchSpcChartEnabled property to True.
