The GainSeeker Charts and PC Collect modules work with MINITAB versions 15 - 18. By default, GainSeeker is configured to work with MINITAB version 16.
To configure your workstation for a different version of MINITAB, see Configuring GainSeeker for the correct MINITAB version.
In the GainSeeker Charts and PC Collect modules, you can export data to MINITAB from most types of charts - including graphical charts, data tables, and statistics lists.
There are three methods for exporting data from the GainSeeker Charts window to MINITAB. The best method to use depends on whether you have MINITAB installed on your workstation and which version you have installed. If you do not have MINITAB installed, you can still save the data in a MINITAB-compatible file format.
With this option, GainSeeker launches MINITAB with commands to automatically open a table containing data from a GainSeeker SPC or DMS chart, statistics list, or data table. You can additionally choose which columns to display in the MINITAB table.
This option allows you to specify which columns contain data, to send specification limits and subgroup sizes from the standard, and have MINITAB automatically execute commands on the data. This option runs slower than the option detailed above.
This option creates a MINITAB-compatible file containing the data in a GainSeeker data table you have generated or converted from a chart. You can then transfer the file to another workstation for use where MINITAB is installed.
The file name that GainSeeker creates will depend which MINITAB version your workstation is configured to use for GainSeeker:
When workstation is configured for MINITAB 15 or 16:
The file name extension is *.txm .
When workstation is configured for MINITAB 17 or later:
If GainSeeker detects MINITAB version 17.3 or later, the file name extension is *.txt. (MINITAB versions 17.3 and later will no longer open files with the *.txm filename extension. However, MINITAB can still open a *.txm file if it is renamed with the filename extension *.txt.)
If GainSeeker detects a previous version of MINITAB, the file name extension is *.txm .
