How to Reset System Variables in VBAI

[CW_Edge]

Is there a way to reset the System Variables - mainly #Parts Inspected, #Pass, #Fail?

I have an Inspection Script that measures set in a coil of band saw material.  As it is running, the UI dislplays the #Pass & #Fail and plots the set measurements on a Sweep chart.  Once the coil is done, I need to be able to reset the #Pass & #Fail and get the Sweep chart to go back to zero.  I can create my own Inspection Variables for the Pass/Fail, but that seems reduntant and it also does not reset the Sweep chart.

From the inspection interface, you can do it from the inspection menu (Inspection>>Reset Inspection Statistics).

Right now, it is not currently possible to reset them "programmatically" from the state diagram. Is that what you wanted to do?

Yes, either from the script or the User Interface.  The only other way I can think of is to use the Select Inspection, but it would be selecting itself and I'd rather not go that route unless I have to.

Also, the Reset Statistics does not clear the Sweep Chart, it just keeps going from where it stopped so now the X-axis on the chart does not match the #Pass, #Fail dislayed.

You will need to keep track of your own #Pass/#Fail and not use the built-in system variables (since the built-in variables don't behave like you want). You can also put a property node in your Custom UI code and Run the VI from the Update Inspection UI step to reset the chart history when a boolean is true and you set this hidden boolean to true when you want the strip chart to reset.

Hope this helps,
