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

  • I do understand why they would do this though. and . Present something that has nothing to do with DataPage. Change everything how it is ran and how it is setup. This will force the DataPage users to go back to school. We will over charge them and put a person with little to no knowledge of this product, so they would have to come back to a second class, with a person that has a little more knowledge how the program works, so it does look like we are helping them. This kinda the jist of it?
