So as a new project, the management wants me to implement SPC collection that would be real time and not require any further operator interaction than they already have. This means that they want the SPC data (read X bar R chart; or process chart in DATAPAGE) to be sent to the report after each "in process" run of a part. They only want 1 feature to begin with but that seems daunting enough. Anyone have any ideas?
There was talk about making Datapage part of the internal workings of Pcdmis, at least to a limited extent. Something along the lines of running the program in a loop 30 times and getting the Pp/Cp & Ppk/Cpk to show at the end of the report. I don't remember exactly what all they talked about incorporating into Pcdmis, but there was talk about it, and from "official" sources as well.
Is there a way to CODE it so that it places the data into an array, then simply do the calculations within Pcdmis itself? It would have to be an external data file of some kind that gets added to, not replaced, then import the entire data file into the array, then do the calcualtions. Can't tell you how to get charts, but the numbers can be calculated, the formulas are all available.
