New Features Added to QC-CALC Version 3.0x

QC-CALC Real-Time 3.0

Gage R & R Wizard

QC-CALC Real-Time now has a full Gage R & R wizard to guide you through the process of creating and executing a Gage R & R study.

Filtering

QC-CALC now allows you to filter live data on either dimension or records and save your custom filters for later re-use.  You can also report directly on the filtered data.

Multi-User Editing

QC-CALC can now share files across multiple copies of the software without the need to claim the file.  This greatly enhanced our network capabilities as more and more customers are able to share QCC files between Real-Time and SPC copies.

Expanded Trend Detection

The number and types of trends automatically detected has been greatly enhanced and the actions now include the ability to save reports to file formats such as PDF, attach the reports to emails and notify operators.

Expanded Point Properties

QC-CALC's new Point Properties window is now dockable and has been greatly expanded to report all aspects of a particular point including nominal/tolerance info, numeric and text factor information, and statistics such as Cpk, Cpk by R, Sigma, Sigma by R, 3 Sigma, etc.

Range Charts

QC-CALC now has live range charts that show the range of the points when the subgroup size is greater than 1.  These range charts are displayed directly below the main plots and automatically plot as parts arrive.

Ability To Delete Single Points

QC-CALC now allows the deletion of single points in addition to the deletion of an entire part.

Display Improvements

We now allow for non-toleranced features in the plots as well as an expanded list of calculations for display on plots.

Training CMM shipped with QC-CALC

Prolink now ships a small fake data generating tool (called the Training CMM) with every copy of QC-CALC.  This new tool is useful for testing/evaluating QC-CALC on a PC that is not connected to an inspection machine or for training purposes.

Dimension Count Mismatch Adaptation

QC-CALC Real-Time can now optionally automatically adapt to a change in the number of dimensions found in your part program.

Statistics On A Selected Range Of Points

QC-CALC Real-Time now allows you to highlight a particular subset of points in a plot and immediately see statistics (such as Cpk) of just that selected range.  While selected you can then move the mouse over other plots and get the statistics for same exact range of points without having to re-select them.

Ability To Re-Measure A Part

You can now re-measure a part that was out of spec due to a bad measurement with the click of a menu.

Reporting On A Selected Range Of Points

Similar to above, you can now report on just the selected range of points in a plot.

Expanded Exporting Formats

QC-CALC has added the ability to export to most stat. packs such as InfinityQS and databases using either ODBC or OLEDB.

New Install Wizard Allows Live Switching Of Machines

The new install wizard screen allows you to quickly and conveniently change the inspection machine input.

QC-CALC SPC 3.0

Available Datagrid And Plot Views

QC-CALC SPC can view and edit the data in either datagrid or plot view. This allows for editing of points in an Excel-like fashion.

Grouping Of Files

QC-CALC SPC allows you to set up groups of files for reporting purposes. This is particularly useful when you have multiple machines measuring the same part and need to pull the data from both machines onto one report.

Expanded Charting and Reports

There is an ever growing list of charts and reports including the attribute charts and the capability of running all QC-CALC Real-Time reports in QC-CALC SPC.

Monitoring Of Individual Files Or Groups Of Files

The new monitoring function continually watches for changes to the monitored files or groups (as a result of data collection or editing) and updates QC-CALC SPC as soon as they occur. This allows you to monitor the shop floor from a remote location.

Ability To Open Multiple Files Simultaneously

QC-CALC SPC now allows you to open multiple files simultaneously for reporting purposes.

Multiple Tolerance Editing

This is a convenient new feature that allows you to update the tolerance values of any number of selected dimensions with one change rather than having to edit them individually.

Touch Screen Capability

Right click functionality is available by clicking a button allowing users with touch screen to interact with QC-CALC as if there was a mouse present.
