Chapter 8
Defining Strings for Serial Ports and Viewports
8 – 23
For each string you define, you can specify the “event.” In specifying the
event, you are defining the conditions which must be met, upon completion
of an inspection, in order for a given string to be transmitted.
For example, you can specify that the string is always transmitted (or
displayed) upon completion of an inspection (this is the default setting). Or,
you can set other conditions – you can specify that the string is sent only if a
particular gage or window fails the inspection, for example.
To begin to define the event for a string, first access the Event menu. For
either a viewport or serial port string:
• Pick the Event box on the Define String menu. The Event menu (for
serial ports) is illustrated in Figure 8.4:

First, let’s look at the top part of the Event menu (the top five boxes),
consisting of four event source boxes, and the source condition box (the
topmost box).

To begin to specify the event, you first select one of the four event source
boxes – either pick the master range, or select a specific tool or formula.
