Tolerancing
Whenever a new standard is created and saved, it is stored with the default tolerances. If you
need to use specific tolerances for individual standards, you would use the tolerancing option.
1.
Click the Tolerance button on the Setup dialog to open the Tolerances dialog. Within the
Tolerance dialog, you have the ability to enter individual tolerances and an action limit.
2. Select Type of Tolerance dropdown list select the tolerance type. Available types are:
dLab+-, DLCH+-, dEcmc,and dEab, or None at all.
3. Click in the Tolerance fields and edit the default tolerance limits for the selected
standard.
4. Click in the Action limit [%] and edit the percentage value. This option is used to
establish the percentage amount required to trigger a yellow “warning” display in the
traffic light. This signifies that a sample is trending toward a fail condition, but still is
within the defined tolerance. You can select between 25 and 99 as a action limit
percentage. This percentage is applied to the upper and lower user defined tolerances in
L* a* b*, L* c* h, * dEcmc, and DE*.
EXAMPLE
: If the tolerance for a standard is 1.00 dE on L*, a* and b*, setting the action
limit to 75% will activate the yellow warning light if the standard drifts to or above 0.75
DE on one or more of the L*a*b* values.
The same is true for L*c*h* and DE* if these
tolerancing modes are selected.
The default setting is no value entered.
5. If you want only the current standard to use the edited tolerances, click the OK button to
save the tolerances and exit the dialog. If you want all of the new standards stored to
use these tolerances, click the
save as default button. You will be asked to confirm that
you want to overwrite the default tolerances. Click OK to continue and then click OK
again to exit the Tolerance dialog.
Clicking the
Use Default button will set the tolerance type and limits to the current
system default settings.
