Chapter 8

Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports

8 – 26

With a

Gage

,

Window

, or

Formula

selected, the options are:

Print if Enabled

– String sent at the completion of each inspection, as

long as the specified event source (tool or formula) is enabled.

Print on PASS

– String sent only if the event source (tool or formula)

passes the inspection.

Print on WARN

– String sent only if the result for the event source

(tool or formula) exceeds warning range limits but does not fail.

Print on FAIL

– String sent only if the result for the event source (tool

or formula) fails the inspection.

Selecting the Interval

Once you have defined the event source and source condition, you can
further define the event by specifying an interval for transmitting or
displaying the string. You specify the interval by using the box which reads

Print Every

... on the

Event

menu.

What the interval is – When you first access the

Event

menu, the interval box

reads

Print Every 1

. At this setting, the Color CVIM module checks the

event condition at the completion of each inspection to determine if the
string is sent (see the previous sections, “Selecting the Event Source” and
“Selecting the Source Condition”). You can specify that the Color CVIM
module does not check the event (and thus does not transmit or display the
string) after each inspection, but only checks the event at some interval –
every third inspection, every fifth inspection, etc. You do this by setting the
interval; the range is 1 to 32767.

For example, if you set the interval box (the

Print Every 1 . . .

box in the

diagram) to read

5

, the Color CVIM module does not check the event for

every inspection, but only for every fifth inspection. This checking is based
on the count of processed triggers.
