| Exporting |
| | Q-DAS Exporting Explained |
| | | QC-CALC can export inspection results from its database to Q-DAS formatted files. The raw inspection results are saved in .DFX files while the nominals & tolerances and extra trace data (non-measurement data) are stored in.DFD files. These two files make up the Q-DAS inspection results file that is read into the qs-STAT program. This section of the manual discusses the method of exporting QC-CALC data in Q-DAS format.

| | Adding Factor Values to the Raw Data Report Header Area |
| | | The default Raw Data reports that come with QC-CALC do not show any factor values in the heading area of the report. The reason for this is because the factor values should, in theory, be different for each row of the table making it difficult to show any single value in the header. This White Paper will give step by step instructions for designing your own custom template and adding the Text Factor 1 value from the first record displayed to the header area of one of the standard Raw Data templates. | | Read | | |
| | Entering a value at Report Time |
| | | There are times when you would like to change one value on a report each time it runs (enter the customer name for that particular part for example). If you do not have this value stored in the .qcc file, then you need the report to ask you for the value each time that report is run. There are two ways to be asked for this information (type the value into the Print Preview screen or have a question pop up and wait for an answer) and both methods will be covered here.
