Standard overrides settings for SPC charts

If you want to analyze data as if its standards were configured differently—without actually changing those standards—you can expand the Standard overrides tree and change the settings.

Information about each of these settings is featured in this topic.

You can assign default settings to charts in the GainSeeker System Administration module. See Chart Defaults settings

Some of the standard settings will impact the statistics you report in different ways. These standard settings can be grouped as follows:

Settings that will only change the statistic that reports that standard setting:

Standard override setting:	Affects this statistic:
Data entry constant	Data entry constant
Description	Description
DMS Part Number	DMS Part Number
DMS Process	DMS Process
Limits \ Lower reasonable limit	Lower reasonable limit
Limits \ Upper reasonable limit	Upper reasonable limit
Limits \ Target R	Target R
Meas. system	Meas. system
Meas. unit	Meas. unit
Miscellaneous \ Write data without failures to the monitor tables	Standard flags
Miscellaneous \ Write data with failures to the monitor tables	Standard flags
Part Number/Process	Part Number/Process
Real-time checks	Real-time checks
Scaling \ Scale high range	Scale high range
Scaling \ Scale high X-Bar	Scale high X-Bar
Scaling \ Scale low X-Bar	Scale low X-Bar
Standard subgroup size	Standard subgroup size
Standard variables 1-4	Standard variable 1 - 4

Settings that will only change the statistic that reports that standard setting:

Standard override setting:	Affects this statistic:	Also affects the numeric formatting of other statistics such as:
Decimal places	Decimal places	Mean, R-Bar, UCLx, LCLx
Exponent	Exponent	(when Use Exponent is checked and Exponent is not 0) Mean, R-Bar, UCLx, LCLx
Use exponent	Use exponent

Settings that will also affect the calculation of some other statistics (in addition to changing the statistics that report these standard settings):

Standard override setting:	Affects these statistics:	Also affects the calculation of other statistics such as:
Limits \ Lower Gate	Lower Gate	% below Gate
Limits \ Lower Ind. Limit	Lower Ind. Gate	% below Ind. Gate
Limits \ Lower range Gate	Lower range Gate	Nominal range Gate, Tolerance range Gate
Limits \ Lower Spec	Lower Spec	Cpk, % out of Spec
Limits \ Target X	Target X	% above target, Nominal Spec
Limits \ Upper Gate	Upper Gate	% above Gate
Limits \ Upper Ind. Limit	Upper Ind. Gate	% above Ind. Gate
Limits \ Upper range Gate	Upper range Gate	Nominal range Gate, Tolerance range Gate
Limits \ Upper Spec	Upper Spec	Cpk, % out of Spec
Range chart	Range chart	UCLx, LCLx, UCLr, LCLr
Miscellaneous \ Lower Control Limit cannot be less than zero	Lower Control limit cannot be less than zero Standard flags	LCLx
