Add a Condition to an ML Template Group for a Numeric Measurement Location Template

This topic describes how to create a Checkpoint Condition and add it to an ML Template Group:

• As a successor to an Measurement Location Template whose ML Type value is numeric.

  -and-

• As a predecessor to an Measurement Location Template.

Steps

1. Access an ML Template Group.
2. In the left pane, select:

   • The Measurement Location Template node displaying the checkpoint whose reading value should trigger additional checkpoints to appear.

     -or-

   • The Checkpoint Condition node that is linked to the desired Measurement Location Template and below which you want a new Checkpoint Condition node to appear.

3. On the upper-left corner of the pane, select , and then select Condition.

   A new Checkpoint Condition is created and appears below the node representing the selected Measurement Location Template or Checkpoint condition. A blank datasheet for the Condition appears.

   

4. In the Select Relation list, select the desired comparator. For example, the following image shows the comparator <= (less than or equal to) selected in the Select Relation list.

   

5. In the Select Value cell, enter the numeric value representing the reading value that should trigger the additional checkpoint to appear.

6. In the upper-right corner of the datasheet, select .

   The Checkpoint Condition is created.

   

   At this point, the Checkpoint Condition node displays part of the final condition statement. In this example, the condition statement is: If the Temperature Reading is less than or equal to 0, then display the following checkpoint.

7. On the left pane, select , and:

   • If you want to create a new Measurement Location Template, select New MLT.

     -or-

   • If you want to add a Measurement Location Template, select Existing MLT.

   The Measurement Location Template is added to the ML Template Group, and a Measurement Location Template node appears below the predecessor Checkpoint Condition. A blank datasheet for the Measurement Location Template appears in the workspace.

   

8. As needed, enter or modify values in the available fields.

9. In the upper-right corner of the datasheet, select .

   The Measurement Location Template is saved. At this point, the condition statement is complete.
