Adds failure times to the data set, using the specified time and number of failures at that time.

Syntax

  • AddFailure( ByVal Value As Double , ByVal NumberInGroup As Integer , ByRef Stress() As Object )
  • AddFailure( ByVal Value As Double , ByVal NumberInGroup As Integer , ByRef Stress1 As Object )
  • AddFailure( ByVal Value As Double , ByVal NumberInGroup As Integer , ByRef Stress1, Stress2 As Object )

Parameters

Value: The exact time of failure.
NumberInGroup: The number of units that failed at the Value time.
Stress(): An array containing numeric stress values or references to added ALTAStressProfiles.
Stress1: A numeric stress value or reference to an added ALTAStressProfile.
Stress2: A numeric stress value or reference to an added ALTAStressProfile.

Usage Example

Declare the ALTADataSet. See New ALTADataSet for additional details.

       Dim ALTADS as New ALTADataSet

Declare an ALTAStressProfile. See ALTAStressProfile for additional details.

       Dim sp = New ALTAStressProfile("Profile1")
       sp.RepeatCycle = True
       sp.AddSegment(1, 250)
       sp.AddSegment(2, 300)
       sp.AddSegment(3, 400)

Add values to the raw data.

       ALTADS.AddFailure(1, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddFailure(2, 1, sp)
       ALTADS.AddFailure(3, 1, sp)

Get the number of failures. In this example, NumberOfFailures will be 3.

       Dim NumberOfFailures as Integer
       NumberOfFailures = ALTADS.FailureCount
