DataPage GR&R

[roscek]

I am new to PC-DMIS and need some help with the GR&R option in DataPage. Once I have chosen the trace fields I want to use, I receive an error which says that the data matrix is full. Does anyone know what this means and if so, what do I need to do?

To do a GR&R in datapage You will need to have 3 tracefields in the program before you run them.Operator,Part,Trial. Open the datapage editor and open the Demo database. Then look at the tracefields under the GR&R this will give you an idea what you need.

In DP editor
Database,open,browse, then select demo and open it.
Then view, tracefields. click on pulldown bar and select GR&R and select all and ok.

Sorry I got side tracked. What the dot matrix error means is that you do not have enough data and/or the tracefields are entered wrong in some way. Maybe initials typed wrong somewhere or something else does not add up.

Yep, it will look for teh VERY specific values in the tracefields and they ALL must be correct. There MUST BE:

Samples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Trials 1, 2, 3 (3 is optional)
Operators 1, 2

So, there must be: (O=operator, T=trial, S=Sample)
The O1 value MUST be the same for ALL O1 transactions
The O2 value MUST be the same for ALL O2 transactions
Each T1 must have the same tracfield value, each T2, etc.
Same with the samples. You can't let it count up on its own, they must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

They DO NOT have to be run in any order, BUT THE TRACEFIELDS must be correct for what you are checking. The easiest tracfields to use are quite simply OPERATOR, TRIAL, SAMPLE and the easiest values to use are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. You MUST use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for the samples, 1, 2, 3 for the trials, but the operator values can even be NAMES as far as I know, but the numbers are easier.
