One of GainSeeker's best features is reading data from RS232 devices. I hope our current customers utilize this feature. If you have RS232 gauges, but not connected to GainSeeker, you are missing out on being more productive!!! Why make the operators type in the same data the gauges are displaying when we can program to read the data right from the device?!
Now, with a Desktop opened, you can click on Desktop->Slideshow at the top of the Charts Module and start a slideshow of all the charts in your Desktop! There are options for transition effects between the charts. The options let you control how long to keep each chart up before going to the next one in the list, etc.
The Audit Trail has been a part of GainSeeker since the early versions of GainSeeker. This useful module hardly gets noticed. When I train on the System Administration module / Utility module I make sure to focus on this little hidden gem! The Audit Trail makes it easy to see who changed the Specification Limits of a Standard, or who edited or deleted data.
If you are in the manufacturing world, measuring process capability ( Cpk ) is extremely important. That's because you're always striving to improve your numbers. It is no wonder people are very curious as to how their Cpk gets calculated in GainSeeker. If GainSeeker's Cpk does not match someone else's calculation of Cpk... we (the technicians) get a call. Believe it or not the technicians at Hertzler Systems receive this question quite a bit. So, why does this happen?
GainSeeker Get External feature lets you copy and paste data from any text file or table into GainSeeker Suite for a quick and easy way to turn a table of numbers into something far more useful.
Step aside boring, there's a new Chart Skins interface in GainSeeker that may plot a new course for how Control charts are typically displayed. Even the white dress shirt was eventually displaced a few days a week by colored shirts and later, Hawaiian prints on some casual Fridays.
Our new GainSeeker Collect iPad (and Android) app has been picking up momentum. We think it is because it is easy to set up, flexible enough to handle a lot of situations, and fast, efficient, and very portable for the operator. “
In GainSeeker Version 8.2, "Send to PowerPoint" loads PowerPoint and pastes whatever you're sending into a new slide. In prior releases you could get there, but you had to send the chart to the clipboard, and then flip to PowerPoint and paste it into a slide. . . .
The Normal Probability Plot chart gives you an easy-to-view answer to the question: "Can we meet our target?" You can get to this information by displaying specifications on the chart, and then looking at where the diagonal line crosses those specifications.
"Data brushing" is a simple technique that helps you make sense of data by giving you more power to dive into a SPC Control Chart or Histogram. It is another tool in your toolbox for turning data into knowledge.
