Description

A component used to display and enter sample measurement data. The entry fields are dynamically created based on attributes defined in the sample definition. Additionally, the number of measurements are defined by the measurement count setting in the sample definition. The Up Down Traversal property can be used to change the field tab order between column and row. When saving, the measurement data is validated, and if any validation errors exists a message is displayed to the user.

Multiple Measurement Sample Entry

 

Component Palette

Depending on the measurement count defined in the sample definition, the orientation of the edit fields will change. If the measurement count is greater than 1, then there will be a row for each measurement with the attributes appearing horizontally. If the measurement count is equal to 1, then the attributes appear vertically in separate rows. This reduces the need for the user to have to scroll while entering sample data if there are a number of attributes.

Single Measurement Sample Entry

 

Component Properties

Properties are provided that can be set to affect the operation and look of the component. They can be set through the Property Editor in the Designer or through scripting.

Example

Event Handlers

This event signifies a mouse click on the source component. A mouse click the combination of a mouse press and a mouse release, both of which must have occurred over the source component. Note that this event fires after the pressed and released events have fired.

PropertyDescription
.sourceThe component that fired this event.
.buttonThe code for the button that caused this event to fire.

Custom Methods

Custom methods allow you to add your own component functions to a component that can be called through scripting. This is a useful and clean method of re-using script that is specific to the component (say you want to update a visual aspect of the component in the same way whether a user clicks on the component or a window property value changes). See Component Custom Methods in the Ignition Help Manual for more information.
