5.4.3.2.2. Specification Limit Indicators Each Parameter displayed on the Spreadsheet Page Tab can have both Lower and Upper specifications applied. If a specification limit is violated, the software displays a red or blue indicator on the left edge of the Data Table cell. If a USL has been exceeded, that parameter indicator will appear in red (indicating it is above the specification limit).
5.4.3.3. Parameters When parameters are displayed on the Spreadsheet template, they include header, labels and unit cells. These parameters can be color coded with the associated Parameter Labels so they can be easily identified together. The width of each column can be adjusted to be larger or smaller by placing the mouse pointer over a split line dividing the columns and sliding it to the desired width.
Parameter Labels The Parameter Labels display details associated with the displayed parameters. For example, in the Maximum Y Value parameter, the label is Channel 1. Parameter Units The Parameter Units are the units of measurement for the displayed parameter. For example, in the Maximum Positive Slope parameter, the parameter unit is °C/sec. ♦133♦ MEGAM.O.L.E.
5.4.3.4. SPC Flags SPC Flags allow the user to flag parameters so they are displayed on the SPC Page Tab. For each Parameter listed after the User defined Parameters, there is an SPC Flag.

The first data run uploaded or imported into the directory is on the bottom and the most recent data run is on the top. When any data run row is selected, all of the cells in the entire row are highlighted in purple and blue. The purple cells indicate that the cells can be modified and the blue cells indicate the data cannot be modified.
5.4.3.6. Filters There are Filters for each parameter label that user can filter specific data out. Filtering more than one column at a time acts as a Logical AND Function. All conditions of all set filters must be met for data row(s) to remain visible. How to use the Filter function: 1) Click the Filter button to reveal the unique data as populated in that column under that particular parameter label. 2) Select a desired data value to filter, or the two standard filters All and Special.
To use the Special option: 1) Select Special to select data run rows within a range of values. There are multiple options to select information to filter by clicking the appropriate relational operators option button. The user can either select data from a populated list or type it in the text box on the top of the column.
In this example, the data filtered would be all times between, but not including 13:41:41 and 16:55:30. When the data is filtered, the column header and the Filter Reset button are highlighted in RED. To reset the data run rows to display the entire set of collected data, click the red Filter Reset button. MEGAM.O.L.E.

Time (X) Scale: The horizontal Time (X) scale displays values data points collected. The user can select four different types of Time (X) scales. The scales are: • Point: The data points collected from the Process-Origin.
Points Scale Absolute Time Scale Temperature (Y) Scale: The vertical Temperature (Y) scale displays the scale of the measured temperature. Lower values are at the bottom and higher values at the top. The Temperature (Y) scale includes temperature labels on the left side of the graph. These temperatures divide the vertical scale up to four equal parts and are automatically scaled to fit the current Temperature (Y) scale limits. These units can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Autoscaling: The software includes a powerful Autoscaling option to automatically scale the Data Graph so the data will always be visible and easy to work with. The software automatically selects a range of values for the Temperature (Y) scale to ensure that all the data fits on the screen. The user can change the range of temperature values displayed by using the Manual mode. Refer to topic Software>Menus>Profile>Temperature (Y) Scale for more information.
5.4.4.2.2. Data Plots The Data Plots in the Data Graph represent the data for each of the sensors connected to the M.O.L.E. Profiler.

Then the software automatically calculates a single go/no-go number.
Target 10-OK features: Process Parameters: Initial slope, Soak, TAL & Peak parameters derived from the associated paste for the currently selected data run. Limit Adjustment: Upper and lower specification limits from the selected process for each parameter. The user can adjust these as needed to meet their requirements. Parameter Values: Actual values derived from the current data run. Normalized Values: Parameter values in the data run converted to a single number based on a 0-10 scale.
Worst Condition: Once all of the Target 10-OK numbers are calculated into normalized values, the software reduces the evaluation of the displayed data run profile to a single worst condition number for each process parameter. Individual Parameter Indicators: These are individual visual indicators of the worst condition number for each process parameter. The user can click these indicators to launch the detail dialog box where they can visually analyze the worst condition number for each channel.
Save Target 10 Specs button: This button saves the currently displayed settings to a Target 10 (.XMK) file.

The X-bar is the average of the data samples and the UCL and LCL are calculated using a formula based on the Range data. The calculation numbers vary depending on the data in the Spreadsheet Page Tab.
5.4.5.3. R Chart The R Chart is the graphical chart produced from samples of a flagged parameter on the Spreadsheet Page Tab. The R-Bar is the averages of the range samples. If the Sub-Group size on the SPC Page Tab of the Preferences dialog box is set to 1, the R chart becomes a moving range (mR) chart. The moving range is the difference between a specified X value and the one preceding it. The calculation numbers vary depending on the data in the Spreadsheet Page Tab.
5.4.5.4. Statistics Box The Statistics Box reflects the current SPC data from the selected, sorted and filtered data set parameter. Statistics box data: • N = Number of subgroups. • Min. = The lowest data point on the graph. • Max. = The highest data point on the graph. • X-2 bar = The current X-Bar Bar calculation. • Std.
