Static and Dynamic MLC
 
Statistical & Trend Analysis - New
The RIT113 trend analysis feature raises the usefulness of RIT's unique MLC QA routines to a whole new level. Now you can save and recall all your MLC tests into a database for later viewing and analysis. The trend analysis view gives you a Statistical Process Control run chart with limits designed to separate random and non-random variation in your data. For example, you can examine each leaf's trends over time in the picket fence test to detect trends that may indicate that the performance of a leaf is degenerating before failure occurs. The routine also gives you a histogram showing the distribution statistics of the data. For researchers using Matlab, the database is in an easily accessible Matlab archive file readable by Matlab versions 7+.
