Part Test

The Part Test is used in Inspections to set the Part stored with DMS and OEE data.

Part Test

Information

This is an Attribute Test. Attribute Tests can be placed in the Inspection Data panel and impact how other Tests store data.

An Attribute Test on a Sub-Inspection will only affect other Tests in that Sub-Inspection, while an Attribute Test in the Inspection Data panel will affect Tests on all Sub-Inspections.

Tip

If all data for an Inspection will only be stored for a single Part, set the Part property of the Inspection instead of using this Test.

Settings

Setting Description
Label The display name shown to the operator during the Inspection.
Visible Whether the Test is shown to the operator in the Inspection. A Test's visibility does not affect validation or how data is stored.
Enabled Whether the Test can accept user input. Disabling a Test can be useful when the value is set via scripting.
Script ID Identifies how this Test is referenced in Inspection Scripts.
Required Whether the operator must complete this Test before submitting the Sub-Inspection.
Part The preset value of this Test.
Border Whether to display a visual border around the Test in the Inspection layout.
Freeze Test If this Test is placed on the same row as a taller Test, this Test will not scroll off the screen until the taller Test scrolls off the screen.

Using the Part Test

Warning

An error will occur if multiple Part Tests are added to the Inspection Data panel or a single Sub-Inspection.

Although SPC Data is always stored for a particular Part, the Part Test is usually not required for entering SPC data. This is because the Characteristic of the SPC Test unqiuely determines the Part stored with the data submitted by the SPC Test.

The Part Test has two main uses:

Order of Precedence

Like other Attribute Tests, the Part Test can fall back from more specific to more general contexts. When storing DMS, OEE, or Task data, the Part is determined based on the first available source in the following order:

  1. A Part Test on the same Sub-Inspection as the Test submitting the data.
  2. A Part Test in the Inspection Data panel.
  3. The Part set in the Inspection's settings.
  4. None
