Show statistics list under chart

Select the checkbox preceding Show statistics list under chart to display a statistics list under a chart on a GainSeeker chart window.

• See Displaying Statistics with Charts for information on changing and selecting statistics to display with a chart or under a printed chart.

Note: GainSeeker automatically displays statistics when you first draw a Combination chart, Performance chart, or Process Capability chart, regardless of this setting. However, after the chart is drawn, you can remove the statistics from the chart by changing the Settings for the chart and clearing this check box.

Note: This setting is ignored by the Combined Control Chart, which always displays statistics and retrieval colors below the chart.

Note: This setting is ignored by the Monitor Table, Paired Sample Chart and its associated Paired Sample Data window, as none of these windows will display statistics below the chart (or grid).

Skip single charts with no data

Select the checkbox preceding Show statistics list under chart so that charts will be drawn only for standards that have data. For example, if you select this option and you choose four standards for a retrieval of which only three have data, only three charts will be drawn.

• See Chart types for information on chart types for which this setting can apply.

If all SPC standards are selected, GainSeeker automatically analyzes the data as if this check box were selected.

Skip retrievals with no data on multiple charts

To hide data retrievals with no data from the following charts, select this checkbox:

• Multiple Charts

• Sparkline Charts

• Process Capability

If all SPC standards are selected, GainSeeker automatically analyzes the data as if this check box were selected.
