Tutorial: for product overview
- Grouping of frequently used charts into worksets, which
can open all charts within the group exactly as you left them in your
last session.
- Supports ASCII (comma, tab, or space delimited), DBF
III or DBF IV, and DIF data file formats for import and export of data.
- Spreadsheet functions for calculating user-defined
parameters.
- Practically unlimited number of characteristics per
file.
- Descriptive fields which may be viewed during File/Open
for ease of file selection.
- Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) to provide a direct linking
of files across Windows applications, for real time updating of charts
without needless re-entering of data.
- Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) to place SPC charts
into other Windows applications and report writers, such as Microsoft
Word, without running SPC-PC IV.
- Ability to annotate charts freely to identify causes
of process shifts or to clarify process behavior.
- JPEG, PCX, and WMF graphics file format support for
export of charts to other applications.
- ODBC Query feature that allows any ODBC data source
to be accessed for read-only analysis. The 'Query definition' is stored
as part of a regular QDB file, and can be subsequently re-run to obtain
a current set of data. The 'Query results' appear much like normal columns
in the SPC data editor.
- Use of DDE in conjunction with Macro languages from
Visual Basic, Excel, and other applications to automate chart formation
and report generation.
- Multiple user concurrent access of files with automatic
updates of charts for continuous supervision of the process across a
network.
- Advanced networking features include supervisory features
and network alerting. Using the Supervisory features remote workstations
can receive automatic updates of process activities while data is entered
at any workstation connected to the network. In addition, alerting messages
can be sent to advise of user-defined conditions such as a violation
of control limits, spec limits, or Cpk values. Messages can then be
sent between users to document special causes and advise of appropriate
corrective actions.
Foreign language interface can be conveniently switched
to the following languages through a menu selection:
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Italian
- Portuguese
- Spanish
