ALTADataSet.AddFailureInterval

Member of: SynthesisAPI.ALTADataSet

Adds interval censored failures to the data set.

Syntax

.AddFailureInterval(StartValue, EndValue, NumberinGroup, ByRef Stress())

.AddFailureInterval(StartValue, EndValue, NumberinGroup, Stress1)

.AddFailureInterval(StartValue, EndValue, NumberinGroup, Stress1, Stress2)

Parameters

StartValue

Required. Double. The starting value of the failure interval.

EndValue

Required. Double. The ending value of the failure interval.

NumberinGroup

Required. Integer. The number of failed units at the time of failure.

Stress()

Required. Object. An array of the numeric stress values or references to an added ALTAStressProfile object.

Stress1

Required. Object. A numeric stress values or reference to an added ALTAStressProfile object.

Stress2

Required. Object. A numeric stress values or reference to an added ALTAStressProfile object.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add a data set to an ALTADataSet object.

VBA

 'Declare a new ALTADataSet object.  
  Dim ADS As New ALTADataSet
 
 'Define a new stress. 
  ADS.AddStressDefinition("Stress1")

 'Add 2 interval censored data points at stress = 100 to the data set. 
 'The failures occurred between time = 10 and time = 20. 
  Dim Stress(0) As Variant
  Stress(0) = 100 

  Call ADS.AddFailureInterval(10, 20, 2, Stress) 

VB.NET

 'Declare a new ALTADataSet object.  
  Dim ADS As New ALTADataSet
 
 'Define a new stress. 
  ADS.AddStressDefinition("Stress1")

 'Add 2 interval censored data points at stress = 100 to the data set. 
 'The failures occurred between time = 10 and time = 20. 
  ADS.AddFailureInterval(10, 20, 2, 100)
