Owning Palette: Pareto Analysis VIs

Installed With: Statistical Process Control Toolkit

Given a set of Pareto values that the Pareto Counter VI returns, this VI creates two Pareto charts and the associated legend. One is a bar chart of the frequency of occurrence of each cause. The other is a bar chart of the percentage contribution of each cause. The legend is a list of cause codes with their rank in a table (2D array of strings) format.

	pareto values is an array of clusters. Entries are sorted by frequency of occurrence of each cause. cause is the name of the assigned cause. frequency specifies the number of occurrences of cause. cumulative frequency specifies the total of occurrences at the time this value was read. percent of total specifies the percent contribution of cause. cumulative percent of total specifies the total of percentages at the time this value was read.
	pareto chart (freq) returns a bar graph of frequency of occurrence of each cause with superimposed cumulative plot of frequency. You can wire this output to the Pareto Chart controls.
	pareto chart (percent) returns a bar graph of percentage contribution of occurrence of each cause with superimposed cumulative plot of frequency. You can wire this output to the Pareto Chart controls.
	legend returns a table (2D array of strings) listing the cause (string) for each bar in the Pareto chart from the rank of 1 (cause with highest frequency of occurrence) on. You can wire this output to the Pareto Chart controls.
