Search Results

After performing a search, the Search Results tab is automatically selected. Defect data returned as search results is presented within the grid. Each row represents an inspection associated with a defective part based on the search criteria. Each column represents specific information about the inspection (for example, part program, inspection name, sensor, status, time stamp, etc.). Use the scroll bars to see data from a specific time period.

Scrolling through the data

Click the scroll bar to the immediate right of the grid to scroll to a specific record. Labels appear indicating the time stamps that will be scrolled to when moving the button next to the label. Note that the labels are spaced by records not by time.

For larger data sets (more than about 160 records) a second scrollbar “Data Zoom” appears to the right of the first scroll bar. This allows narrowing in on the time of interest. While moving the Data Zoom scroll bar two thick lines appear in the first scroll bar, which indicate the time span to which scrolling will be restricted. Labels indicate the times of the first and last record of the search result; the first and last record of the current scroll restriction selected by Data Zoom and of one currently displayed record. Use the first scroll bar to get closer to the desired time and repeat the process as needed.

Viewing result details

Click the Details button for a highlighted item to view the Record Details. This window displays the associated image and inspection information. It also allows you to export the image. The Full Size button brings up a viewer showing the unscaled image in full resolution (screen resolution may restrict this for images of very high resolution).

Note: The details viewer will not always show a specific text such as “Distance too Large.” This depends on the type of inspection and the specific type of defect.
