The online help offers search features to assist in finding detailed help information on specific topics. If all you want is an overview of the program features, then please look in the list of features. After having found the required feature, use the online help for further information. For users new to out programs, we recom-mend that you thoroughly study the available test files .


2 First Steps The quickest way to familiarize yourself with the possibilities of the pro-gram, is to use the supplied test data. In paragraph 3 you find more de-tails on how to record values yourself. Under Win2000/NT/Me/XP you start the software through the program group START – Programs – Q-DAS QM Tools From the menu, select one of your modules, i.e. Q-DAS ISR (availability depending on your activation code ). 2.1 Open Report You may open a file through or through the menu File – Open – DR:\PATH\tests\... Open one of the test examples.

All the characteristics belonging to this report will be displayed. After con-firmation by clicking „OK“ the parts screen mask of the test report will be displayed. It is also possible to open several reports. To navigate through the re-ports use the icons below:

First Steps 11

Clicking will display the characteristics screen mask. You can navi-gate forward or backwards through the characteristics.


The values recorded for the individual characteristics may be displayed

by clicking .

First Steps 13

A selection of reports is found under File – Print Report – Re-port Selection. The chosen report must be confirmed.


It is possible to display the selected report on the screen. If the report consists of several pages you can scroll forward and backward using these icons

. For easier on-screen reading of the report, you can use the right mouse button to open a „Zoom“ menu. At the same time, the report may be mailed as an E-mail attachment.

First Steps 15

As an option, a database is available:

or File – Read from Database

Further handling does not depend on whether the report is saved to a file or into the database.


3 Data Recording If you want to create a test plan/ISR and record data, first of all you must open the data recording screen mask. This mode will be active automati-cally when you create a new file. 3.1 Create New File In order to record data yourself, proceed as follows: Activate your required module through MODULE – ... Then click or select FILE – NEW FILE. A new part will be created automatically and a dialog opens up where you can enter the number of characteristics to be created for this part.

For the sake of simplicity, take over the standard given for a characteris-tic and click OK. You will then be able to choose from several reports.

Evaluation and Capability Index: These records are printed on a separate sheet.

Evaluation:

The evaluation remarks will be output for every characteristic to-gether with the individual values.

Documentation Mandatory:

A characteristic with mandatory documentation is marked on the

printout by .

You can add more characteristics to a part by opening the parts and cha-racteristics list through the icon . In the parts and characteristics list you click the required part first with the left and then the right mouse button. A menu will open offering the menu item Append new Characteristic. If you click a characteristic instead of a part, you can also add or delete characteristics, or create subordinate characteristics.


3.1.3 Value Screen Mask Select the mask by clicking the icon . It is possible to set the value screen mask to display the values of one characteristic only, or to display all the characteristics side by side. You are able to choose the required display through the menu „Options – Configuration of Recording Data - Standard“ from where you can select the output item „Display Value Screen“.

Data Recording 23

3.2 Additional Data and Catalogs

Procedure: Open the value screen mask by clicking the icon . Now click the required characteristic. A right mouse click takes you to a con-text menu offering the functions at value level. In connection with the additional data which can be selected for display through the menu Display Additional Data, it is necessary to ap-pend catalogs from which the additional data may be drawn. For this purpose, first of all it is necessary to select a catalog through OPTIONS – SYSTEM SETTINGS – CATALOGS . Select Catalog file: Select file and look for the sample file CATALOG.DFD in the sub-directory ...\KATALOGE. In this way, all the records of the catalog will be available in the corresponding fields.

It is possible to edit the individual catalogs.


3.3 Save Data There are two basic methods available for saving data. As an alternative, you also have the option to save into a file through File – Save / Save under or File – Save to Database.

Examples 25

4 Examples 4.1 Recording Data (one characteris-

tic) Objective: The goal of this task is to demonstrate the recording data capabilities within qs-STAT. The user will learn how to create a file from start to finish, entering criti-cal tolerance information and manually recording measured values using the ‘linear transformation’ op-tion.

Background Information: When creating a file, it is important that the correct tolerance information is entered for each characteris-tic as this will directly affect the capability results. Any additional data that can be entered is most bene-ficial when using qs-STAT to drill down on a process to determine any special causes..

The three icons below navigate between the Parts, Characteristic and Value Masks, respectively.

3. Switch from the Parts Mask to the Characteristics Mask. Fill in the characteristic number and description. These should be different than the part number and part description, but should also be unique identifiers.

4. Enter the tolerance information from the part draw-ing on page 1 and select a measured quantity from the list that relates to the characteristic.

Use the icons below to move forwards and back-wards through the characteristics.

Alternatively you can display the characteristic list and move through the characteristics by checking the appropriate one. See the steps below.

5. Complete the characteristic information for the

other three characteristics.

6. Switch over to the Value Mask and enter in the data set for the first characteristics, Posn Jrnl P4.

7. For the second characteristic, Diam. P4, use the

linear transformation when manually typing in the data. Set the linear transformation up as seen in the screen below. By doing this you ‘input’ 14 and the ‘value’ that is displayed in qs-STAT will be 49.014.

4.2 Advanced Recording Data Objective: This task is designed to expand on the user’s basic knowledge of the recording data setup in qs-STAT and to introduce additional, advanced recording data options. These will include the “logical operator” and “Common Additional Data Fields” such as date, time, operator, machine, etc.

Background Information: Within qs-STAT, it may be necessary to link or con-nect certain related characteristics; for example to determine the calculated true position value of X and Y coordinates or to find the sum of two sets of data measured from two length characteristics. These types of functions can be done using the ‘logical op-erator’ feature. As for additional data fields, this in-formation can be used to assist in the traceability of a part or to drill down on a process in order to deter-mine the exact location of the problem, i.e. Machine and Cavity number.

Examples 33

Procedure:

1. Starting with a new file in the Process Capability Module, fill in the appropriate parts and character-istic information for each of the three Journals.


2. In the Value Mask, prior to entering data turn on the additional data fields for machine and cavity. This can be done by right mouse clicking on the highlighted cell and selecting “Display additional data fields.” In the pop up window, check Cavity number and Machine number; select “all charac-teristics” and click OK.

Examples 35

3. Again right mouse click in the highlighted cell and select “Common Additional Data Fields.”

Common Additional Data Fields means that the additional information, such as machine # and cavity # are carried over for each part - all charac-teristics (across the row).

For this example, we want the additional data to carry over for each characteristic (across the row) and for each part (down the column). The “Take-over” function works for the second half.

4. Go to “Options” pull down menu, “Configuration of

Recording data / Data Set” – “Takeover.” Check the boxes for Cavity and Machine. Click OK.


Prior to typing in the data, change the “Input se-quence” such that the additional data fields are skipped. This will allow the values to be typed in one after another down the column.

5. Go to the “Options” pull down menu, “Configura-

tion of Recording data / Data Set” – “Input se-quence.” Check the box for “Skip add. data fields.” Click OK. Refer to the graphic on the fol-lowing page.

6. Now type in all of the data for the three character-

istics including the machine and cavity numbers.

Examples 37

The completed Values Mask is seen below for the three Journals, including the additional data.


7. Add a fourth characteristic for the distance be-tween Journals 2 and 3.

In the Characteristics Mask on the third character-istic, click the “Append element” icon. This will add a fourth element to the end of the list.

8. Fill in the appropriate tolerance information calcu-

lated from Journals 2 and 3, as seen below.

9. Using the “Link characteristics” icon a Logical Op-

eration Formula can be input so the distance be-tween Journals 2 and 3 is automatically calculated.

Append element

Link characteristics

Examples 39

10. For the distance between the two Journals, type

in the Logical Operation Formula: x3 - x2. The “x” represents characteristic, and this for-mula calculates characteristic #3 minus charac-teristic #2.

Other examples of Logical Operator Formulas in-clude:

average value of characteristics

avg(x1; x2; x4) maximum value of characteristics

max(x1 .. x4) (i.e. max of characteristic 1 thru characteristic 4)

The Value Mask is now filled in for the Distance be-tween Journals 2 and 3.
