- Set Upper and lower spec limits (USL, LSL). Saved values out side of USL/LSL will cause the control to turn RED indicating out of spec value.
- Target controls various reporting functions including capability calculation
- Sanity Min and Sanity Max will prevent erroneous user input. For example, if you set your LSL as 40, Target 45, and USL 50, then you can set your minimum sanity to 0 and a maximum of 50. This means, when an operator mistakenly inputs a number greater than 50, an error message will be displayed as shown in diagram 1.4 below.
