- What are Reasonable Limits and how are they used in WinSPC?
Introduction In addition to standard SPC limits such as Specifications Limits/Engineering Limits and Control Limits, WinSPC includes a set of limits that serves a different purpose. Reasonable Limits offer remedies to a variety of scenarios that are occasionally problematic -- in particular, tw ...
- What kind of information can I put into an Email Trigger for Data Collection?

- What is inheritance?
Inheritance is an administration object behavior (introduced in WinSPC 8.0) where the object not only affects other items at that object's level, but also affects other objects that are in the lower levels beneath that object. Two of the new administrative objects in WinSPC 8.0, Control Test Te ...
- How can I create a control test to count the number of samples in a subgroup that are out of spec?
In WinSPC 8.3.4, a new subgroup level control test type has been added that allows a user to setup a custom control test that counts the number of readings in a subgroup that meet a certain criteria (such as the number of readings outside the spec limits). Using this new subgroup level control ...
- What is the difference between a Subgroup Level Control Test and a Sample Level Control Test?
Introduction WinSPC supports two different types of Control Tests: Subgroup Level Tests and Sample Level Tests. These two types of tests have different configuration options and are activated at different points in the data collection process. In short, a Subgroup always consists of one or m ...
- How to create and configure a custom Subgroup Level Control Test to check for out of control Range values.
While not standard SPC practice, you can check for out of control conditions for your process based on range values. This is done using a custom Subgroup Level Control Test checking against the Secondary chart. There are a number of different ways this can be done. The following is 1 potential c ...
- How do I configure WinSPC to prompt the operator for information when a subgroup is out of control?
A Control Test trigger can be setup to prompt the operator for information when a subgroup is out of control. When the trigger fires you can have it prompt the operator for Assignable Causes, Corrective Actions, Notes or any combination listed. Method 1 (Legacy Method) – Collection Plan ...
- What Subgroup Level Control Tests come preconfigured with WinSPC?
Introduction WinSPC allows you to set up rules known as Control Tests against your control charts in Data Collection mode. These Control Tests are referred to as Subgroup Level Control Tests. When violated, WinSPC can be configured to react by using triggers. WinSPC comes preconfigured with ...
- Tip: Easy access to the properties of a control test template from a control test template link
Did you know you can access the properties of a control test template from anywhere you see a control test template link? If you double click on any control test template link (or right click on the link and select "Properties"), it will display the properties of the source control test template ...
- How can I insert a tag value into a trigger message?
