Analysis Configuration: Data Update Properties

Expand the Analysis Configuration node in the tree view, and select Data Update Properties to display these options.

Enable

Select the Enable check box to allow the updating of analyses/charts with the new data collected and to enable all other controls on this dialog. At run-time, if Enable has been selected, two icons/controls are placed on the Spreadsheet resulting from this Analysis Configuration to control the auto-updating behavior once the analysis is run: Update Analysis Configuration data now and Suspend/Resume auto update of Analysis Configuration data. Clearing this check box prevents all update capabilities for the Analysis Configuration. Note. See related topics about Data Configurations and Auto-update columns.

Automatically update every

When this check box is selected, you can specify the time interval between automatic updates. Automatic update does not exclude the ability to manually update data via the Update Analysis Configuration data now control on the spreadsheet. Deactivation of automatic data update with the Suspend/Resume auto update of Analysis Configuration data control is also possible.

Display warning when automatic update fails

Automatic updating will sometimes fail, simply because SQL queries or network connectivity can sometimes fail. If you want the user to be notified when an update fails, select the Display warning when automatic update fails check box. An example scenario in which this option might be selected is when updates are relatively infrequent (e.g., every 10 minutes). If the query for updating fails, it would be useful for the user to know so that another query can be initiated without waiting an additional ten minutes to fetch the latest data.

Always recreate data file

Select this check box to refresh the entire query with every update. Unless this option is selected, only data that have been added since the last update will be retrieved when the query is refreshed. When historical data (i.e., data previous to the last time the query was refreshed) may have changed or when the query involves an aggregate function, select this check box.

Transfer only when sample completed

Select this check box to limit the data retrieved by the query to samples that have measurements for all pieces (determined by the configured sample size for the associated SPC Characteristic). Note that this option is only available when running Data Entry Setups.
