inspection points for each operation

Use

You define the number of inspection points in this field that are used when the summarized characteristic results are calculated and the characteristic is valuated, after you close a characteristic with inspection points. Summarized characteristic results are values such as the mean value, maximum or minimum values, or the number of values.

The last n inspection points that you created are used. If the sample currently being processed does not belong to these inspection points when you close, it is also taken into account.

Notes

Note that inspection results do not exist for all inspection points.

The entry in this field is not considered, if you confirm results using process-optimized results recording, use QM-IDI modules, and utilize BAPIs for results confirmation. This means that all inspection points are always read.

Enter a value in this field, if you:

Want to limit the number of sample results used for calculating the characteristic results

Expect performance problems due to the large number of inspection points and characteristics when you close the characteristics

The following entries are possible:

0 = All sample results are used in the characteristic valuation.

n = The last n samples are transferred to the characteristic valuation.

You should always specify a value in this field. A default value is provided in the standard system.

Dependencies

You can only specify the number of inspection points for user field combinations with inspection points for an inspection during production.

In all other cases, the system takes all samples into account for summarization and valuation. This means that the system sets the field "Inspection points for characteristic summarization" to 0 and no entries can be made).

Example

If you enter 20 inspection points and the characteristic is inspected at every second inspection point, the system only considers 10 sample results for summarization.
