Use WinSPC's blueprint mode to simplify data collection on the shop floor The blueprint data collection mode in WinSPC V 7.1 simplifies shop-floor data entry by displaying a blueprint or other image on the screen. This interface enables those collecting data to enter readings into an area on a blueprint image that corresponds to the aspect of a part they are measuring, making data collection a much simpler and error-free activity. Device folders: organize, manage and access your devices quickly and easily Customers who work with a large number of devices can now organize their files into many folders.

WinSPC Helps You Determine if Your Data is Statistically Sound Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a predictive science where seemingly random data is conditioned to behave more predictably. The distribution analyzer tool is a feature within WinSPC's Query Tool that is designed to help determine the best means of achieving that objective. Accessed from the Query Tool screen, it allows the user to observe the data represented in one of three typical modes, Individuals, X-bar and Median models, to determine if it can be mathematically modeled accurately. The user can also determine the validity of SPC for a characteristic's current data collection method... Triggers: Automated Responses to Violations of Standard User-Defined Tests During data collection, triggers are automated reactions to tested events. They work directly with control tests and can perform a wide variety of functions. Triggers are associated with either a subgroup or sample level control test that specifies when each should fire. Subgroup level tests are applied each time a subgroup of data is collected. Control tests at the sample level are applied to each measurement. The following list summarizes the triggers in WinSPC...
