Set Float: EasyBuilder View

Sets the floating-point value of a symbolic tag, such as an EasyBuilder Location or Inspection Tool parameter, or job data, to the specified floating-point value. The symbolic tag must be a Floating Point Data Type.

Set Float Inputs

Syntax: SF["Symbolic Tag"][Space][Float]

Parameter	Description
"Symbolic Tag"	The name of the symbolic tag [such as a Location or Inspection Tool parameter ("Pattern_1.Horizontal_Offset", for example) or EasyBuilder job data ("Acquistion.Exposure_Time", for example)] to be set.
Space	A blank space to separate the "symbolic tag" from the floating-point value.
Float	The floating-point value to set, including the decimal point (.) character.

Set Float Outputs

Returns a status code. The status codes are:

Status Codes	Description
1	The command was executed successfully.
0	Unrecognized command.
-1	The "Symbolic Tag" is invalid, or the specified value does not contain a floating-point number.
-2	The command could not be executed, or the specified floating point value is outside of the control's valid range. For example, the specified name may not contain a control of the valid Data Type.
-6	User does not have Full Access to execute the command. For more information, see User Access Settings Dialog.

Set Float Example

You can set the floating-point value of a Location or Inspection Tool parameter, or job data, by sending a Set Float command containing the new floating-point value.

1. Assume that your job contains a Pattern Location Tool, and the tool's current Horizontal Offset parameter setting is the default, 0.000:

   

2. However, you would like to change that parameter's setting via the Set Float Native Mode command. Issue the command SFPattern_1.Horizontal_Offset 100.302 as shown in the following telnet client window:

   

3. The In-Sight vision system responds with 1, indicating that the command was successfully executed. The tool's Horizontal Offset parameter has been successfully changed from 0.000 to 100.302:
