Why DataPage?

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

  • It's not limited to data from PC-DMIS either, I don't recall all of the formats it supports but basically if the format never changes you can create your one data files.


    So it's good for a company that has multiple CMM's, as it can correlate all of the data (theoretically) regardless of what brand it is?
    Now that would be interesting...

    Or are you referring to a machine's (such as a lathe) format?
