Tester
Configuration
Enabling SPC Data
To enable SPC Data collection for the loaded test:
1. From the main menu, press
Set Up Test Program.
2. Press EDIT.
3. Press Set Up SPC.
4.
Press SPC Data.
When SPC Data Collection is enabled,
you can select which Values and Error
data you wish to be stored by turning
Values and Error Text ON or OFF.
Storing SPC Data
Before you can collect SPC data, you must first create a folder named spc_data on the root of
either a thumb drive or network drive (if you are using a network drive, the spc_data folder
must be located in the directory that you named as DIRECTORY FOR TESTER FILE
STORAGE when you set up the network using Networking Made Easy)
.
During testing, results are stored in a
temporary file. When the test run is
complete, you must return to the main menu
for the results to be copied to the spc_data
folder. The file will be given a name, which
will be the serial number of the tester followed
by
.C_D (i.e. If you have a tester with the
serial number 463658, the file name in the
spc_data folder will be
00463658.C_D ).
Note: Subsequent runs of SPC Data will not overwrite previously stored information. Newer
SPC Data will be appended to the end of the existing data file.
