SPC Settings

Sepasoft MES Module Suite

SPC Settings Object

SPC Settings is used as part of a user's scripts to filter and display SPC samples. Its functions can retrieve an entire Sample Definition, or just specific properties, such as Attributes, Locations, Rules (Signals) and Control Limits. A sub-set, 'helper' object, SPC Definition | Lightweight, that executes faster (doesn't load the entire Sample Definition object) can be loaded by getDefinition() (see below). See SPC Definition for a list of available function.

Created by: system.mes.spc.analysis.createSettings(definitionName, attribute, filters, controlLimits, signals, dataFormatName)

Properties

decodeFilters(filterList)

Description

 Decode a list of SPC filter expressions into a java Map object. Each filter key can have multiple filter values.

Syntax

decodeFilters(filterList)


  • Parameters

An instance of a java List object containing SPC filter expression strings. Example: "Location=Enterprise\Site\Area\Quality Test Station 1, Location=Enterprise\Site\Area\Quality Test Station 2, Product Code=DEF"

  • Returns

 An instance of a java Map. The map key is the filter name. For example, "Location" or "Product Code". The value for the key contains a java List object containing all of the filter values. For example, the key "Location" can have the filters values of "Quality Station 1" and "Quality Station 2".

decodeList(input)

Description

 Decode a string that can represent a SPC filter, control limits, SPC rules (signals), etc. into a java List object. The input string will be parsed on wither the comma or pipe (|) character and each parsed result will be added to the returned List object.

Syntax

decodeList(input)


  • Parameters

The string value to parse.

  • Returns

 A java List object containing the parsed strings.
