See Skip single charts with no data to set GainSeeker so that charts will be drawn only for retrievals that have data. For example, if you select charts for five standards and only three standards have data, only three charts will be drawn. This setting only applies to charts listed in the One window for each (the left) table column above.

See Skip retrievals with no data on multiple charts to set GainSeeker so that only the retrievals that have data will be included on multiple-retrieval charts. For example, if you select Process Capability for five standards and only three standards have data, only three charts will be included in the Process Capability window. This setting only applies to charts listed in the One window for all (multiple retrievals) (the right) table column above, excluding the Monitor Table and the Multiple-standard Data Table.

See Select all the standards in the list to see how charts work differently when all SPC standards or processes are selected.

Statistics Lists

A Statistics List displays user-selected statistic labels in the left column and the corresponding statistic in the right column using a listing format.

The OK for All button on the Select a statistics list dialog can be used to apply the selected statistics list to all of the part numbers you select for the retrieval.

Statistics Tables

A Statistics Table uses a table format to display statistics that are user-selected as being relevant to the data.

Data Tables

A Data Table is a comprehensive, compact display of user-selected data and traceability values in a table format that can easily be converted into a chart.
