Count - PSM
From VersaVision Support
Counts are Monitoring Points that can be setup to capture when a piece/part has been completed.
A Count on a PSM has 3 different types available:
- Default - simple Count - press the button increase the Count by 1.
- Distribution - Count that allows the user to enter a count for multiple items/reasons.
- Quantity - Count that allows the user to enter a Total Pieces.
This page will provide information on each property required to each Count Type.
To access the Count setup, the user will need to select an existing Count under Monitoring Points or select to Add a new Count.
