SPC Selector | Vision

SPC Selector

A component that allows selections of SPC data. As the user makes selections, this component will query the server for results. These results can be accessed through the SPC Results and SPC Data and can be linked with any of the SPC control charts.

SPC Selector

A filter can be added by selecting the  link to the right of Filter By. A window panel will open and filter categories will be displayed. Click the  link by the filter category and specific filter items will be displayed. When selected they will be added to the filters as shown below. To minimize the number of filter options, reduce the date range defined by the Start Date and End Date properties and the associated filter values will be shown. Because values collected from different locations being shown together does not make sense, a location must be added to the Filter By section.

Filter By List

Sample definitions can have more than one attribute. At the time sample data is recorded, each attribute will have a value associated with it. For example, when collecting viscosity reading it may also be important to know the temperature. But, showing and making calculations on a viscosity value of 10000 with a temperature value of 75.2 does not make sense. The SPC Selector allow selecting a single attribute as shown below.

If an attribute type of sample definition is selected, then the Attribute section will not appear. This is because with attribute charts, all attributes are included as shown. For example, if a sample definition has an attribute for Torn, Discolored, Pitted, etc. then all will show in the table and is included for calculations.

Attribute Selection

Similar to filters, control limits and signals can be added to the SPC results. Any selected control limits, and signals that depend on them, will not appear on the control chart until the control limit value has been set.

Selections can be removed by selecting the  link to the left of the selection.

To display the SPC results of this component in a control charts, bind the SPC Results property of the control chart to the SPC Results property of this component.

Component Properties

Properties are provided that can be set to affect the operation and look of the component. They can be set through the Property Editor in the Designer or through scripting.

Event Handlers

Event handlers provide the ability to add custom script when a user interacts with a component such as by clicking a mouse, selecting a menu item or when a component property changes.

Extension Functions

This component does not have extension functions associated with it. 

Custom Methods

Custom methods allow you to add your own component functions to a component that can be called through scripting. This is a useful and clean method of re-using script that is specific to the component (say you want to update a visual aspect of the component in the same way whether a user clicks on the component or a window property value changes). See Component Custom Methods in the Ignition Help Manual for more information.

Customizers

This component does not have any custom properties.

Component Functions

This component provide the following functions that can be called on it. If this component has been dropped onto the windows root container, the path and an example call would be event.source.parent.getComponent('SPC Selector').refreshInfo().

refreshInfo()

setSpcDataFormat(spcDataFormat)

setRowLimit(rowLimit)

getRowLimit()
