There are THREE THINGS that MUST be in your Pcdmis program, or you WILL be doing a TON of hand editing in Datapage. You must include 3 tracefields in the program and they must be after the STATS/ON command. The three tracefields have to contain the following:
1) Operator 2) Trial 3) Sample
The actual tracefield names can be anything you want them to be, but the values MUST be "set" values. You must use 1, 2, or 3 for the operator value, you must use 1, 2, 3, etc. for the sample value and you must use 1, 2, or 3 for the trial value. Datapage will sort all the data based on these values (YOU tell it what tracefield controls which, so I generally use OPERATOR, TRIAL, and SAMPLE as the tracefield names, just makes it easier). Datapage will then use the correct R&R calculations based upon the values it finds for the values of the tracefield. Since there are some "base calculation values" that change with the number of operators, it will use the correct ones based on what the tracefield for operator contains. If it only contains 1 and 2, then it will use the values for the 2 operator calculations, if it sees 1, 2, & 3, then it uses the other set. SO, as long as each and every transaction has the correct OPER, TRIAL, SAMPLE value, it will automatically sort them for the table, so that part is VERY easy. IF it is missing some, say you run 3 OPS, 5 trials, 5 parts, but forget to do OP 3 for the last part, last trial, it will tell you that something is missing.
If I have it set-up correctly, does it matter what order I measure the parts?
As long as the tracefields are correct, of course.
