CharacteristicNameFilter property

Use the CharacteristicNameFilter property to specify the characteristic for which the chart is to be plotted. This property filters samples with characteristic that match the specified criteria. This is a design-time and a run-time property.

The following figure highlights the selected characteristic as shown in the chart header area.

The CharacteristicNameFilter property is the only required property of the control. If all the other filters are Null, and the chart is refreshed or the DisplayChart() method is called, the system reads the filter settings from the MES database.

If you set this property to Null, you cannot display the chart.
