Example

Create a separate chart for each standard selected on the Part Number tab

The One window for each list on the Charts tab.

If you select two part numbers on the Part Number tab, and you select Control Chart, you will create two control charts—one for each part number—on separate windows.

If you select two part numbers on the Part Number tab, and you select both Control Chart and Histogram from the One window for each list, you will create four charts—a histogram and a control chart for each part number.

Create one chart analyzing all part standard selected on the Part Number tab

The One window for all (multiple retrievals) Charts tab.

If you select five part numbers on the Part Number tab, and you select Multiple Charts from the One window for all list, you will create one multiple chart window analyzing data from all five part numbers.

Create a separate chart for each standard and a chart analyzing all standards selected on the Part Number tab

The One window for each list and the One window for all (multiple retrievals) list.

If you select five standards on the Part Number tab, and you select Control Chart from One window for each and Multiple Charts from One window for all, you will create six charts—one control chart for each of the five part numbers—plus one multiple chart window analyzing data from all five part numbers.
