Configure Inspection Interface

Use the Configure Inspection Interface dialog box to configure the Inspection Interface to use when the inspection is run in Inspection mode.

Complete the following steps to configure the Inspection Interface.

Inspection Interface Tab

1. Select the Inspection Interface to use for the inspection. A preview of the selected Inspection Interface is displayed in the Preview window. The following options are available:
   • Use Built-in Inspection Interface—Uses the built-in Inspection Interface.
   • Create New Custom Inspection Interface—Allows you to select either an existing Inspection Interface template, or a LabVIEW VI.
   • Use Current Custom Inspection Interface—Uses the currently configured custom Inspection Interface.

Interface Initial Values Tab

2. In the Initial Values table, select a control or indicator.
3. In the Value control, specify the initial value for the selected control or indicator.
4. repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining controls or indicators.
5. Click OK to close the dialog box and apply the Inspection Interface settings

Additional Considerations

When specifying a LabVIEW VI as the Inspection Interface, the VI must be saved in LabVIEW 8.5 and not broken or currently running. The VI must also not have any dependencies, such as sub VIs or DLL calls, or be located inside an LLB. The VI may use LabVIEW primitives, such as For loops, string operations, arithmetic operations, and array operations.

You can specify the initial value for any string, numeric, or boolean controls on the Interface Initial Values tab. Strip charts may also be used, however, you cannot specify the initial value for a strip chart. Use the Update Inspection UI step in your inspection to update the values of indicators on the custom Inspection Interface. Controls on the custom Inspection Interface can be accessed by any inspection steps that support previous measurements or variables.
