Figure 2a – Information Panel
Information Panel (Figure 2a): This panel displays information about the current
sheet and test. Sheet Type is selected automatically after a scan (if possible)
based on setup information. The Operator, Set No., Run No., and Grade are
linked to the Machine No., so that when Machine No. is changed, everything
returns to the way it was for that machine. The Machine No. may be selected
by clicking on the down arrow with the left mouse button and selecting a
machine. The other information may be entered/changed at any time to
further describe the test.
NOTE:
The program allows the user to specify which “Sheet
Type” to use in evaluating the sample. If a specific
“Sheet Type” is not selected the program will
automatically detect the appropriate sheet type, based
on the number of holes and sheet size. This automatic
detection feature may be problematic due to the sheet
specifications being too close or overlapping and the
sample measurements fitting more than one sheet
specification.
v If no “Sheet Type” is selected before scanning, the program will still work in
the automatic mode.
v If a “Sheet Type” is selected before scanning, that sheet type will be used to
evaluate the sheet scanned.
v If the “Sheet Type” is manually selected for a previously scanned sheet, the
manual selection will be used for all subsequently scanned sheets. For
example, suppose sample 1 is scanned without a sheet type having been
selected. The program might automatically categorize this sheet as
“Unknown.” The user might then click on that sample number, and then
select 8x11 3-hole as the sheet type for sample 1. When sample 2 is
scanned, it will be evaluated as 8x11 3-hole, regardless of its characteristics.
