SPC Controller
An invisible component that makes SPC data available for reports and other components. The term invisible component means that this component appears during design time, but is not visible during runtime.
In cases where the SPC Selector offers too many options to the user, this component can be used. It has all of the same functionality as the SPC Selector but without the user interface. This means property bindings or script must be used to make the filter, compare by and data point selections. It also is used for providing data to canned reports and optionally allowing the user to make limited filter options.
To display the SPC results of this component in a control chart, 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.
sPCUpdate
beforeUpdate
Is fired just before SPC results are requested from the SPC module.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| .source | The component that fired this event. |
afterUpdate
Is fired just after SPC results are requested from the SPC module.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| .source | The component that fired this event. |
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 Controller').update().
