SPC Chart control

You can use the Statistical Process Control (SPC) Chart control to monitor characteristics associated with the product and the process. The SPC charts are important decision aids for MES Quality Management because they provide statistical information that is indicative of the actual process.

The SPC charts display the following data:

• Graphical representation of the data associated with product and process characteristics

• Control limits and a center line, which is either a fixed line or a line drawn based on the plotted data

• Control rule violations indicated on the chart

• Contextual data and chart title

• Summary data, including notes and alarms

To monitor process performance, you can check the relationship of the plotted data with the control limits and the center line. You can either integrate the SPC charts with the Sample Viewer control or generate them independently.

To use the SPC Chart control, the operator need not log on to the control. The SPC Chart control does not support the Button Bar control.
