EcInspection control properties

When the EcInspection control's property page opens up it appears as shown in the Figure below.


EcInspection control general tab properties

General tab


Use the General tab to edit the Inspection header information. The information contained in the header is shown in the Figure. The dimmed information is maintained by the control itself and is not available for editing. Simply type the desired information in the text boxes provided and then OK or Apply the changes.


Apply button


If you have made changes to the inspection header information you can update the Inspection object with this information by clicking the Apply button.

Channels, WorkPieces, Probes, Defects, Scans and Materials tabs

The remaining tabs: Channels, WorkPieces, Probes, Defects, Scans and Materials are used to maintain the lists of items used in the inspection. The WorkPieces tab is shown in the Figure below, but all the remaining object tabs look and behave the same way.


Channels tab on the EcInspection control's properties page

The listbox on the left side of the page shows all the objects of the current type contained in the inspection. For example, in the Figure above, there are 3 Channel objects available in this inspection.


New button


Pressing the New button will add a new object to the list. For example, in the Figure above, the New button was pressed twice adding two new Channel objects: Channel 2 and Channel 3. The objects will be the default objects.


Add button

Press the Add button to add all the objects from another Inspection to the list of available objects. You cannot add Channel objects though, you must create new Channel objects from scratch.
If for example, you want to add all the WorkPiece objects from the inspection Insp01000.xml. If you do not want all the objects, just use the Delete button, as described below, to delete the undesired objects from the list.


Delete button

Use the Delete button to delete undesired objects from the Inspection. Simply highlight the desired object for deletion by selecting it in the list, then press the Delete button. For example, in the Figure above, pressing the Delete button would cause the Channel2 object to be removed from the display and the Inspection.

You cannot delete any object that is in use by any channel. For example if you try to delete "WorkPiece1" , you would get the message:

because WorkPiece1 is in use by Channel1. If you are deleting a channel, it must not be the one currently in focus in the Inspection control and cannot be the only remaining Channel object. Channel focus switches to the next available Channel object.


Properties button


Press the Properties button to open the properties page for the object selected. See the individual object controls for more details.


OK button

Pressing the OK button will attempt to apply any changes you have made and close the properties window. Any errors found will be reported and need to be corrected before the properties window is closed.


Cancel button


The cancel button closes the properties window, losing any changes you may have made. You will be warned about any changes that will be lost.
