What good does this do?

I'm use to standard charts, histogram with cpk, xbar, etc.. I'm just not getting the whole datapage thing and the way the carts look.
Then I'd like to extract the raw data so I can use minitab (copy / paste) but I cant figure out how.
I'm not interested in PCDtoExcel since PCD crashes every 20 parts or so ±, even if it didn't the formatting of excel sheets on the reports are useless to me since I need all the results grouped together per feature (copy / paste). I thought datapage would be the answer.

The thing I like about datapage is that it will keep running even if PCD crashes and picks up where it left off. If I could just figure out how to extract the data...

  • Brilliant!! That was too easy, thank you I feel much better now.

    Another question I have that is not in the help menu index...
    When I set up the database I have options for Read Lock (10) Write Lock (20) and Pages (64), what do these mean?

    I ran 42 pieces and I only have data for 20. Is that because Write Lock was set at 20?

    Those values are time values (read & write) and the pages are the amount of memory (I think). I have never messed with ANY of that stuff.

    Question? Were you saving this stuff while looping? If so, you need to put a STATS/UPDATE command at the end of the loop (before it returns) AND you need to go into the F5 set up and UN-MARK the thing that says to use BRACKETS when looping, otherwise it will give you (in the database) P001.X then P001.X[1] and P001.X[2] which is useless for stats. THREE parts, three different variables instead of three parts and a single variable. I never use loops. I mean, you have to un-load & load a new part anyway, it ain't no-big-thang to hit CTRL-Q on the keyboard to make it go again.

    This is what mine is set at and always has been:

    READ=10,WRITE=20,MEMPAGES=4

    Never had an issue with it 'losing' parts.
