Chapter 7

Inspection Tools

7–194

This section discusses the expanded inspection results that are available to a
math tool formula from a multiple gages tool. As Figure 7.156 shows, the
expanded inspection results for all tool operations appear in a single scrolling
list.

Here is a brief definition and explanation of each of the gage result types
listed in Figure 7.156:

Execute –– This returns a

1.000

when the tool has executed its inspection

task, and

0.000

for all other conditions.

Pass –– This returns a

1.000

when the tool has passed its inspection task,

and

0.000

for all other conditions.

Warn –– This returns an “error code” when the tool is in a warn
condition (and not in a fail condition) and

0.000

for all other conditions.

The error code identifies a specific reason for the warning; for example,
error code

1057.000

identifies “Low range warning” as the cause. The

complete list of error codes appears in Appendix A of this manual.

Fail –– This returns an “error code” when the tool is in a fail condition
and

0.000

for all other conditions. The error code identifies a specific

reason for the failure; for example, error code

1045.000

identifies “High

range fail” as the cause of the inspection failure. The complete list of
error codes and fail conditions appears in Appendix A of this manual.

Total –– This returns the total number of inspections performed.

Faults –– This returns the total number of faults detected.

Result –– This returns the decimal equivalent of a bit–mapped
hexadecimal value that represents the pass/fail status of up to 32
sub–gages. Thus, the low–order bit represents sub–gage 1, while the
high–order bit represents sub–gage 32.

For example, a hex value of 2A would indicate that sub–gages 2, 4, and 6
had failed. In this example, the decimal equivalent for hex 2A, which is
42, would appear as the result value in a math formula.
