This article shows how to get user defined centerline, control limits, and spec limits to display on a chart created with the Control Charts with Alarming node output.

 

1. The prerequisite for configuring user-defined centerline, control limits, and spec limits is that names of those variables must have the prefix matching the name of the selected characteristic variable with a underscore in the middle. For instance, if a characteristic variable named "Value" from the input spreadsheet is selected to plot the control chart, then user-defined variables must be named as "Value_UCL", "Value_LCL", "Value_USL", "Value_LSL", "Value_Center" to be effective.

This prerequisite is explained when you hover over the corresponding selection box:

2. To use user-defined centerline, select "Use defined centerline" as the Centerline type under General tab

3. To use user-defined control limits, select "Use defined UCL and LCL" as the Control limits

4. To use user-defined specification limits, select "Use LSL, Nominal, and USL" as the Specification limits

5. Run the node after the configuration, a control chart will be generated:
