New Features Added to QC-CALC Version 2.4x
- QC-CALC SPC and QC-CALC Real-Time
-
QC-CALC can now be sold as 2 separate packages that together form the whole
package of QC-CALC. QC-CALC SPC is the Main Menu part of QC-CALC (historical
analysis), while QC-CALC Real-Time is just the Real-Time Plots portion of
QC-CALC (data collection and all the functionality included in Real-Time
Plots).
- Exporting Formats Expanded
-
The exporting formats supported by QC-CALC have been expanded to include Excel,
Access, Q-DAS, Visual SPC, and others.
- Reports to File
-
The reporting has been expanded to now print the reports to file. The file
formats supported are PDF, HTML, XML, EMF, MHTML, RTF, JPG, BMP.
- E-mail Reports
-
Manually or automatically attach your reports to an e-mail message. This is
useful when you want to be notified via e-mail when a process goes out of
control or tolerance.
- Trend Analysis
-
Use any of the 6 AT&T Trend Analysis tests to monitor your process and have
one or more actions trigger automatically (report, log file, assign Cause or
Corrective Action, and/or display the trend on the plot).
- Sigma Zones on Plots
-
1, 2, and 3 Sigma zones can be represented on the Plots by either lines or
colored areas (rainbow charts).
- Plot Properties Screen
-
A snapshot of any particular feature being displayed is now available. This
snapshot shows a list of calculations based on the data set visible at that
time for that feature.
- Automatic Configuration Mode
-
Setup the reports to run automatically for the part from the inspection
software instead of from Real-Time Plots. This feature is only available for
some inspection machines.
- Static Factors
-
Tagging data with trace items such as Lot, Operator,.. can be difficult. Static
Factors can be entered before each new part is inspected, so the new part will
be tagged with the correct information. The Static Factor window can be left on
screen so it is easy to enter new values quickly.
- Error Logging
-
This new feature will record any errors that occur in a file to be viewed
later. Options are available to view this file and to clear the contents of the
file also.
- Modify Database Structure
-
Using this utility gives the user the ability to add dimensions or factors to
an existing file, change the order of dimensions in a file, and increase or
decrease the maximum number of records allowed in the file.
- Data Collection Wizard
-
Occasionally QC-CALC is setup incorrectly, or someone changes parameters that
cause data collection to stop. This Data Collection Wizard was written to help
you reestablish a connection with the output of the machine’s software. Very
few questions are asked and it fixes things very quickly.
- Machine Specific help file
-
The gray pages included in the front of the QC-CALC manual are now available
on-line. Pressing Shift + F1 from within QC-CALC will display the manual for
the specific type of machine QC-CALC was installed for.
