QATrack+ integration with PTW electrometers

[Mohamed Metwaly]

Hi , 

I am working in a project to connect Qatrack-plus with the PTW electrometer. I managed to add a new test option in the admin workspace specifically to create a test for this purpose. In the test performance page, I have added a press button to transfer the electrometer reading and fill the value cell, this works very well. My plan is to combine this test in a composite test with the temperature and pressure correction to automatically calculate the output from the transferred reading. But I am not able to get the “autosave” functionally work so the value of the composite test calculation can be performed.

    

Can you help please. I can arrange for a demo of the problem for further clarification if you like.  

Mohamed Metwaly.

Hello,

Sounds like an interesting project.  I'm not sure exactly what you mean that the autosave isn't working, but the autosave shouldn't impact the calculations.  The composite calculation should be triggered by a change event on one of the inputs.  Maybe you are just missing the trigger event?  I'm not sure if you are using jQuery for your functionality or not but generally you need to explicitly trigger a change event after populating the inputs:

# probably won't work

$("#some-element").val(your_reading);

# trigger the change event to simulate a user entering a value manually

$("#some-element").val(your_reading).trigger("change");

Does that help?

Hi Randy,

I am still wortking in this project.

I have created a ne test type called "electrometer reading" - it works in all aspects but the number formatting - please find the screen shot below.

thansk for help in advance.

in the QA performance page it looks like that

So the formatting is not acting.

i can also see the formatting column in the qa_test table in the database

thanks again

Hi Mohamed,

That format looks correct to me.  %.4E formats to 4 decimal places (%.4) in exponential form (E).  Here's a reference for string formatting: https://python-reference.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/str/formatting.html

Hi Mohamed,

I like the sound of this new button functionality you've added. I think I could find a use for this too. 

Would you happen to be willing to share how you went about doing it?

Kind regards,

Ben
