21 Data Recording 21 Evaluation and Capability Index: These records are printed on a separate sheet. Evaluation: The evaluation remarks will be output for every characteristic together 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 characteristics 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.

22 22 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report 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.

23 Data Recording 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 context 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 append 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.

24 24 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report 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.

25 Examples 25 4 Examples 4.1 Recording Data (one characteristic) 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 critical tolerance information and manually recording measured values using the linear transformation option. Highlights: Parts, Characteristics, Values Masks Data Handling Linear transformation Background Information: When creating a file, it is important that the correct tolerance information is entered for each characteristic as this will directly affect the capability results. Any additional data that can be entered is most beneficial when using qs-stat to drill down on a process to determine any special causes.. Ø ± M1 P1 P4 M5 M2 M3 M4 P2 P ± 0.05 Task: Create a qs-stat file for the four crankshaft features on Pin 4 (P4), as outlined in the part drawing above. Reference the information on the following page for descriptions and measurement values.

26 26 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report Additional Information: Part No. 1 Part Descr. Crankshaft Char. No Char. Descr. Posn. Jrnl P4 Diam. P4 Round. P4 Straight P4 Nominal USL LSL Measured Values: Crankshaft Posn Jrnl P4 Diam P4 Round P4 Straight P

27 Examples 27 Procedure: 1. In qs-stat Process Capability Module, go to the File pull-down menu and select File new or click the icon seen to the right. The create new characteristic window will appear as seen below. Under variable characteristics change the number to 4 and click ok: MODULE Q-DAS INITIAL SAMPLE REPORT FILE FILE NEW or 2. For the Parts Mask, the essential information is the part number and part description. These should be unique identifiers. Fill in the Part number as and the part description as crankshaft.

28 28 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report 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 drawing on page 1 and select a measured quantity from the list that relates to the characteristic. Use the icons below to move forwards and backwards through the characteristics. Alternatively you can display the characteristic list and move through the characteristics by checking the appropriate one. See the steps below.

29 Examples 29 Info icon 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 Linear Transformation

30 30 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report 8. Complete the data entry for the last two characteristics. Practice using the linear transformation; reset it before typing in the data for each characteristic. 9. Be sure to Save the file under File Save as The completed Value mask should look like the one seen below, with 4 characteristics and 15 values each.

31 Examples 31 D 12.50± ± ± 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. Highlights: Recording Data Additional Data Fields Logical Operator Background Information: Within qs-stat, it may be necessary to link or connect 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 operator feature. As for additional data fields, this information can be used to assist in the traceability of a part or to drill down on a process in order to determine the exact location of the problem, i.e. Machine and Cavity number.

32 32 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report Task: Create a new file and the recording data environment for the three characteristics highlighted on the part sketch. Record the measured values and the additional data fields for each characteristic as outlined below. (Hint: Use the Common Additional Data Fields option when entering the machine and cavity information.) Create the special characteristic for the distance between Journals 2 and 3. Using the logical operator complete the data values. Measured Values & Additional Data: Spindle Jrnl 1 Cavity M/C # Jrnl 2 Cavity M/C # Spindle Jrnl 3 Cavity M/C #

33 Examples 33 Procedure: 1. Starting with a new file in the Process Capability Module, fill in the appropriate parts and characteristic information for each of the three Journals.

34 34 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report 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 characteristics and click OK.

35 Examples 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 characteristics (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 Takeover 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.

36 36 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report Prior to typing in the data, change the Input sequence 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, Configuration of Recording data / Data Set Input sequence. Check the box for Skip add. data fields. Click OK. Refer to the graphic on the following page. 6. Now type in all of the data for the three characteristics including the machine and cavity numbers.

37 Examples 37 The completed Values Mask is seen below for the three Journals, including the additional data.

38 38 Q-DAS Initial Sample Report 7. Add a fourth characteristic for the distance between Journals 2 and 3. Append element In the Characteristics Mask on the third characteristic, click the Append element icon. This will add a fourth element to the end of the list. 8. Fill in the appropriate tolerance information calculated from Journals 2 and 3, as seen below. 9. Using the Link characteristics icon a Logical Operation Formula can be input so the distance between Journals 2 and 3 is automatically calculated. Link characteristics

39 Examples For the distance between the two Journals, type in the Logical Operation Formula: x3 - x2. The x represents characteristic, and this formula calculates characteristic #3 minus characteristic #2. Other examples of Logical Operator Formulas include: 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 between Journals 2 and 3.
