Quality control tests are used to test database features and external HOB/S-57 files for structure and logical consistency. These files are accessed through Customized QC Tests list in the Validation Checks dialog box.
Ready-to-use QC test files are supplied with HPD. These are located in C:\Program Files\CARIS\HPD\<version>\Modules\ support\Validation2\Validation. This directory is referenced by environment variable uslXqcrulefile.
The following files are included:

You can create custom quality control tests or divide existing tests into smaller tests, but all must follow the same structure and use the functions and filters described in this chapter.
Place your custom tests in the folder defined by the Customized QC Tests option.
QC tests that are located in multiple directories can be displayed in the Validation Checks dialog box using a control file. The control file is referenced by environment variable uslXqccontrolfile. This variable is not available when HPD is installed. You will have to create it in the Registry Editor.
The control file points to folders. In each folder, you must have at least one QC tests.
Save only QC test files in the folders referenced by uslXqccontrolfile.
Do not reference the same file with both uslXqcrulefile and uslXqccontrolfile.
The control file is in XML format. It uses the following syntax.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <QCControlFile Version="1.0"> <QCInfo Description="ENC QC Tests"> <Folder Name="C:\CARIS\HPD\SourceEditor\2.5Beta\System\QC\enc" /> </QCInfo> <QCInfo Description="DNC QC Tests"> <Folder Name="C:\CARIS\HPD\SourceEditor\2.5Beta\System\QC\dnc" /> </QCInfo> <QCInfo Description="AML QC Tests"> <Folder Name="C:\CARIS\HPD\SourceEditor\2.5Beta\System\QC\aml" /> </QCInfo> </QCControlFile> |
See the table below for description of elements and attributes.
