Out-of-Tolerance Flash Message

Command Activation

The Out-of-Tolerance Notification function provides a flash message to the primary system monitor at the end of a Inspection Run only when a Out-of-Tolerance condition exists.

The OOT Setup tool is located in the pull down menus [Tolerance→Out-of-Tol Notification], see figure 1.

To activate, place a check next to "Send a Flash to the Monitor". Upon accepting the change, <Ok>, you will be reminded where the message exists. The message is in a Rich Text File format (*.rtf) and has a default file name of "OotToMon.rtf" and resides in the program folder where Geomet.exe is installed. In normal installations, the folder for Geomet is located at:

C:\Program Files\Helmel Engineering\Geomet 101

This file can be changed with Microsoft Word, WordPad or any application that support RTF files. When saving, write over the same file name and save as "rtf" format.

To create a high visibility for the Flash Message, select the <Set Bk Color> button and assign a new background color to your message, see figure3.

NOTE: The activation of the OOT Notification and color settings becomes part of your current inspection program, not a global state for all programs. After making your changes, save your current inspection file to ensure the changes become part of the inspection program.

Upon completion of an inspection run, Geomet will review all results that have a tolerance applied and should it find one or more out-of-tolerance condition, flashed the message to the screen..
