What are the Data Reader Widget Properties

Data Reader Widget

The ‘Data Reader’ widget is designed to integrate with the gauging application on the Revolution.  The setup and characteristic names that have been configured in the DataMetrics TranSend application are loaded on to the Revolution device for the gauging application.  The Digital Clipboard application can then issue requests to the gauging application to complete the taking of measurements for the requested setup and characteristics.

Upon completion of taking the requested measurements, the measurement value for a single characteristic is returned along with an in spec or out of spec indicator.  If a request is made to get readings for all characteristics for a setup then the measurement value returned is empty and the in specification or out of specification indicator is the status for all the characteristics.

The ‘Data Reader’ widget is only valid when being used with the Revolution.  For tablets and phones this widget will be disabled.
