Owning Palette: Control Charts Drawing VIs

Installed With: Statistical Process Control Toolkit

Given an array of control chart points and the chart limits cluster as created by the chart VIs, creates a control chart graph (XY graph indicator) with points plotted against zones. This VI is useful when visually applying run rules to a control chart.

	points are the points to be plotted on the control chart, normally the output of one of the control chart VIs, such as an X-bar array.
	chart limits is output by the control chart VIs. avg UCL is the upper control limit for the control chart. CL is the center line for the control chart. avg LCL is the lower control limit for the control chart. standard error is the standard error associated with CL.
	# zones (3) is the number of zones to mark on the control chart. If you do not wire this input, three zones—zone A, B, and C—are marked on the chart.
	starting sample number (0) is the sample number of the first sample the VI uses to label the chart x-axis. If you do not connect this input, sample labeling on the x-axis will start at zero.
	control chart with zones returns the control chart XY graph with points and horizontal zone lines drawn.
	control chart zones returns legends for the zone lines. zone A+ returns the upper 3 standard error control limit value for the control chart. zone B+ returns the upper 2 standard error control limit value for the control chart. zone C+ returns the upper 1 standard error control limit value for the control chart. CL returns the center line value for the control chart. zone C- returns the lower 1 standard error control limit value for the control chart. zone B- returns the lower 2 standard error control limit value for the control chart. zone A- returns the lower 3 standard error control limit value for the control chart.
