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...
So essentially it's a beefier addon to PC-DMIS that controls dimensioning, reporting, cad, etc. and is more or less for a niche set of users that need to use the specific functions available in DataPage, +, or what have you.
Considering what I have works and works good enough, it wouldn't add a lot of good functionality that I don't already have or don't need; I shall not be trying it.
It does however sound pretty cool!
