SPC Chart widget runtime filters

When using the SPC Chart widget, these are the chart filters that you can use to visualize sample result data. If a characteristic is passed to the widget, the filter properties are reset.

Characteristics

This specifies the characteristic for which the chart is to be plotted. The widget reads the filter settings from the MES database.

Chart Type

This specifies the type of chart for plotting the data points or sets the default to use the chart configured in the MES database for characteristics or the characteristic/QM Specification link if the characteristic setting is overridden.

The SPC Chart widget supports displaying characteristics of all types.

For variable characteristics, you can use these chart types:

• XBarR (Mean and Range)

• XBarSigma (Mean and Sigma)

• IxIr (Individual X and Moving Range)

• MARange (Moving Average and Range)

• MASigma (Moving Average and Sigma)

For binary attribute characteristics, you can use these chart types:

• PercentDefective (p)

• NumberDefective (np)

For counted attribute characteristics, you can use these chart types:

• NumberofDefectives (c)

• DefectsperUnit (u)

• DefectsperMillionOpportunities (DPMO)

Theme

This specifies which color to apply to the alternate table rows above the chart graph. White is used for the other rows, which is the table background color. In following example, the selected theme is Blue. The other options available in the preconfigured widget are: Default, Light, Green, and Pink.

X-axis Label

This specifies the text label to use for the sample points on the x-axis of the chart graph. If nothing is selected from the list, no label is shown. In the following example, the selected label is SampleNumber.

The possible label options are shown in the following image:

The x-axis label frequency is 5, which means the widget displays the x-axis label for every 5 samples.
