When you create a Checkpoint Condition that is linked to a Measurement Location whose ML Type field contains the value Character, the following text appears on the Checkpoint Condition node:
If <ML Category> <=><Reading Value> then:
... where:
- <ML Category> is the value stored in the Category field in the Measurement Location. This value is populated automatically after you create the Checkpoint Condition and is used to identify the predecessor Measurement Location whose reading value may trigger the additional checkpoints to appear.
- <=> is the quantifier (i.e., <, <=, =, >=, or >) selected in the Select Relation list in the workspace. This specifies the parameters of the condition when used in conjunction with the value in the <Reading Value> cell. The default value is = (equals).
- <Reading Value> is the value entered in the Select Value cell in the workspace.
In other words, you can specify that if the reading value is equal to the value in the Reading Value cell, the successor checkpoint should appear.
The following image shows an example of what a numeric Checkpoint Condition looks like when it is selected in the left pane.
In this image, you can see that:
- Pump Stroke Check is the ML Category.
- <= is the quantifier.
- 500 is the Reading Value.
