# Working with SPC Module

**Sepasoft MES Module Suite**

## Working with SPC and File Monitor

If you want to enter in a sample in the SPC module when you parse a file use the following code for the **onAfterParse** event on the **File Monitor Controller**.

Code Example

```python
results = event.getParseResults()
if results.isValid():
locationX = results.getValue("LocationX")
locationY = results.getValue("LocationY")
diameter = results.getValue("Diameter")
location = "[global]\My Enterprise\Site 1\Packaging\Line 1\Line 1 Quality"
sampleDef = "Measurement"
sample = system.quality.sample.data.getCreateSampleByName('',sampleDef, location)
sample.setSampleData(1, "LocationX", str(locationX))
sample.setSampleData(1, "LocationY", str(locationY))
sample.setSampleData(1, "Diameter", str(diameter))
sample.setApproved(1)
system.quality.sample.data.updateSample(location, sample, 1)
```

If you want to display the results on a window take a look at the **Sample Entry > Auto Collect** window in the quality demo project. The **onAfterParse** script is slightly different:

Code Example

```python
results = event.getParseResults()
if results.isValid():
location = "[global]\My Enterprise\Site 1\Packaging\Line 1\Line 1 Quality"
sampleDef = "Measurement"
sample = system.quality.sample.data.getCreateSampleByName('', sampleDef, location)
event.source.parent.getComponent("Sample Entry").sample = sample
valueMap = results.createValueMap()
event.source.parent.getComponent("Sample Entry").populateMeasurements(valueMap)
```
