Definition

Value of a characteristic.

  • If the characteristic has character format (CHAR), this field contains a single character string.
  • Values in time format (TIME) must have the format HH:MM:SS. The separators are set automatically.

    Example: 112855 --> 11:28:55

  • The values in date format (DATE) must have the format DD.MM.YYYY. The separators are set automatically.

    Example: 110100 --> 11.01.2000

Note

If you valuate validity parameters, you cannot specify intervals. You can only specify individual values.

  • The following description does not apply to the valuation of validity parameters:
  • If the characteristic format is numeric (NUM), time (TIME), or date (DATE), you can enter a number or (if allowed) an interval.

Intervals are written in the following format:

Value1 - Value2    (from Value1 to Value2)
>Value1    (greater than Value1)
>=Value1    (greater than or equal to Value1)
<Value2    (less than Value2)
<=Value2    (less than or equal to Value2)
>Value1 - <Value2    (greater than Value1 and less than Value2)
Value1 - <Value2    (greater than or equal to Value1 and less than
    Value2)
>Value1 - Value2    (greater than Value1 and less than or equal to
    Value2)

If the characteristic has more than one value, you can enter multiple values separated by semicolons.

If you have maintained a unit of measure for numeric values in the formatting data of the characteristic, the unit is displayed automatically when you confirm.

Note

If you want to define intervals as allowed values of a characteristic, you must define the characteristic as "multiple-value" when you maintain the characteristic in the Classification System. This also allows you to enter more than one interval.

However, if you assign more than one interval to a characteristic of a class during configuration (for example, 1-2 and 5-6 for characteristic LENGTH), the system only reads one of the intervals when generating an inspection lot in QM. To avoid this problem, do NOT assign more than one interval to a characteristic.

Procedure

If this is an input field, you can enter the characteristic value to be assigned to the characteristic directly.

The settings may allow you to make an unformatted entry. In this case, the input field is shortened to the number of characters defined in the characteristic format.

If you are allowed to enter more than one value for the characteristic, enter the values directly in the input field, separated with a semi-colon.

If the allowed values are displayed in this field, you can assign a value to the characteristic by selecting it. Select the values you want on the screen.

Procedure

Enter the characteristic value of the object you are searching for.

If this field is an input field, you can enter the characteristic value directly.

The settings may allow you to make a formatted entry. This means that the input field is shortened to the number of characters defined in the characteristic format.

If you are allowed to enter more than one value for the characteristic, enter the values directly in the input field, separated by a semi-colon.

If the allowed values are displayed in this field, you can assign a value to the characteristic by selecting it. You can see on the screen which values you have selected.

Definition

Value of the message characteristic or of the default value.

Dependencies

The value entered here is

  • transferred directly to the process message for hidden characteristics
  • used as default value for input values
  • displayed in the process instruction sheet and used as default value for characteristics that are identified as input and output value
  • displayed in the process instruction sheet and transferred to the process message for characteristics that are only identified as output value.
