Setting up Master Data

As a part of the master-data set up, you must define:

  • A specific nominal range value for the item characteristic
  • A corresponding tolerance range for the item characteristic

To set up master data:

  1. In the Nominal Value Chart Name (qmptc0181m000) session, specify a chart name. The nominal value range is specified for this chart name.
  2. In the Nominal Value Chart Type (qmptc0182m000) session, specify a Chart Type.
  3. In the Nominal Value Tables (qmptc0185m000) session, for a chart name and chart type, specify the Nominal Unit of Measure and a Tolerance Unit of Measure.
  4. In the Nominal Table (qmptc0685m000) session:
    • In the Nominal Size tab, define a range of nominal values for which tolerance values are specified.
    • In the Tolerance Limit tab, specify the Tolerance Standard.
    • In the Tolerance Matrix tab, specify the lower and upper tolerance limits for the corresponding nominal size range.

    Note The tolerance values can be negative, and correspond to the tolerance unit of measure.

  5. In the Standard Test Procedures (qmptc0110m000) session, specify a characteristic, for the specified standard test procedure.
  6. In the Standard Test Procedure Characteristics (qmptc0115m000) session, in the Limits Tab:
    • Set the Value Type to nominal. If the value type is not nominal, the fields—chart name, chart type, nominal value, and tolerance standard are disabled.
    • Specify the Chart name and the associated chart type.
    • Specify the required tolerance standard.
    • Specify a nominal value. LN defaults the Upper Limit and Lower Limit fields based on the tolerance values specified in the Nominal Table (qmptc0685m000) session.
