Control Chart Report

Generates a Statistical Process Control (SPC) control chart report which plots the changes in a statistic.

Control Chart Fields and Buttons Table
Field or Button Description
Graph [n] [button]

Defines the y-axis of each graph.

Statistic.  Displays the SPC variables selected on the Reports > SPC Report Options window. The selected variable will be plotted for each selected sample. This selection also becomes the y-axis label.

Autoscale. Allows the y-axis to be scaled automatically. To specify a range, deselect this option and enter a range in the From and To fields.

Center Line. Displays placement options for the center line in the graph. Select Entered to specify placement of the line or Mean to place the center line at the calculated mean value for the selected samples.

Limit Lines group box. Displays limiting lines options. Lines can be placed at some multiple of the standard deviation or at specified positions (Entered). When Entered is selected, enter the High limit and Low limit fields with appropriate values.

Recalculate archived SPC results [check box] Use to have archived SPC values recalculated ensuring any changes made to the SPC Report Options are included in the new report. This option lengthens the time required to generate the report.
 If this recalculation option is enabled and sample files from an earlier application version are selected, it is recommended that copies of the archived sample files be used rather than the original. Selecting this option will make some archived sample files unreadable by the original application. If an earlier application version will not be reused, this warning message can be safely disregarded.

When this option is selected, this message will display:

Saving the recalculated SPC data may render some files unreadable by the original application. Saving the SPC data speeds up future SPC reports.

 If Do not show me this message again is selected, the message cannot be redisplayed without Micromeritics assistance.

The first time this option is used, the time it takes to generate the report is lengthened. The second time the report is generated, if using the same sample files used in the initial calculation, it is recommended that this option not be selected since the data was recalculated previously. If a sample file is added or removed from the report after the initial recalculation, this option should be selected again to ensure the data from the newly added or removed sample file is recalculated.

Samples [button] Select additional sample files to add to the report.
