Why DataPage?

InspectorJester
Hello!

I've never used DataPage, and we don't have a lot of SPC at our shop (but we use other tools to inspect the parts that are run on the machines with SPC, like a tallyrond)

Using the internal PC-DMIS reporter, while quirky, seems to do a good enough job. It's a mother to set up, but once it's done it looks alright.

So I'm curious as to what the benefit of DataPage is. As far as I understand, it's just a seperate reporting software made by Hex that does more or less the same stuff (with a few added enhancements of course). It seems like bloatware.

Anyone who uses DataPage care to tell me some pros? I'm always looking to improve my experience (if I can do my job easier, well, that's more programs in the same amount of time.)

I'm relatively new to PC-DMIS, so I want to try out everything.
I figure if this or that is better I might as well try and get used to it now instead of getting used to something else and eventually trying that anyway!

Also, what's the difference between regular and plus? I would imagine plus has more (and is more! $) but I'd like to know what actual users have to say about their personal experiences with the software.
While looking it up finds good results, I would imagine that a review by the people who wrote it might be a little biased...

Any help would be appreciated

  • regular and plus? You talking about Pcdmis itself? Regular (fewest functions/features available), plus has a few more, CAD++ has them ALL. Can really suck to write a program in CAD++, then have to send that program to someone to run on the basic, 'cause LOTS of stuff will no longer work.

    As for SPC, if you don't need it, you don't need it, but for every tool we make, we have to prove the parts are good both by checking the entire part AND by doing an SPC study to prove that the tools can make 'the same part' stroke after stroke.

    OLD datapage (IMO) is a much easier to use package than the new one. Data reports, stat reports, target plots, etc., etc., etc., are all there at the click of the mouse. I still use it with V2016. It's not intalled on the same PC, but on the PC for the old machine, which is still XP and V3.7
