Running Alarm Scripts
Running Alarm Scripts
If you want to run a script that alerts you when the data fail one or more tests, you can run an Alarm Script.
As an Alarm Script is invoked, the following variables are available, both in the issued script and in
subsequent JSL scripts:
qc_col is the name of the column
qc_test is the test that failed
qc_sample is the sample number
qc_firstRow is the first row in the sample
qc_lastRow is the last row in the sample
Example 1: Automatically writing to a log
One way to generate automatic alarms is to make a script and store it with the data table as a Data Table
property named QC Alarm Script. To automatically write a message to the log whenever a test fails,
• Run the script below to save the script as a property to the data table,
• Run a control chart,
• Turn on the tests you're interested in. If there are any samples that failed, you'll see a message in the log.
