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.


    As long as the document format is static and the document is either plain text or some sort of ascii only format that reads values in plain text you can create a template for import.
