INTRODUCTION
The patterns on this tab should be watched in addition to the patterns of instability. The ability to recognize these patterns can greatly increase the usefulness of the control chart by permitting a fuller interpretation of its meaning. These patterns are different from the patterns of instability in that both halves of the control chart are considered together in looking for the patterns.

STEPS
  1. Choose Tools - Options.
  2. Expand list on left to the Trend Detection - Other Patterns group.
  3. Choose the trends you would like QC-CALC to detect and specify options.
  4. Optionally specify Actions or Report and Log if desired.
  5. Click OK to save changes when finished all changes.
  6. Check the Tools - Trend Detection menu to turn on the Trend Detection functionality in general.
