QCSPCChart CF - SPC Control
Chart Tools for .Net Compact Framework
Version 1.8
Add
variable control charts (X-Bar
R, X-Bar Sigma, Individual Range, Median Range, EWMA, MA and CuSum charts),
attribute control charts (p-, np-,
c-, and u-charts),
frequency histograms, and Pareto charts to .Net Compact Framework applications
using the SPC Control Chart Tools for .Net CF.
X-Bar R Chart with integrated table support, frequency histograms, Cpk and
Ppk statistics, scroll bar
and customize plot objects
The Quinn-Curtis SPC Control Chart Tools for
.Net Compact Framework (QCSPCChart CF for short) software is an object oriented, .Net
CF based toolkit aimed at
developers who want to add static and dynamic quality control charts to their C#
and Visual Basic for .Net Compact Framework applications. Typical users are SPC engineers and
other quality control professionals creating .Net based applications that will
be used to monitor critical quality factors in manufacturing, process, and
service industries. The feature rich toolkit includes templates for the most
common SPC control chart types: variable control charts (X-Bar R, X-Bar
Sigma, Individual Range, Median Range, EWMA, MA and CuSum charts), attribute control charts
(p-, np-, c-, and u-charts), frequency histograms, probability charts
and Pareto diagrams. The software will automatically calculate SPC
control limits using historical data for the supported variable control chart
and attribute control chart types. Alarms can be generated for standard
+3 sigma control limits, or the Western Electric (WECO) Runtime Rules (1,
2, 3 and 4). Alarms can be color highlighted in the SPC charts and table. It will also calculate process
capability ratios (Cp, Cpl, Cpu, Cpk and Cpm) and process performance indices (Pp, Ppl, Ppu
and Ppk). Users are able to interact with
charts: adding annotations, defining custom tool-tips and editing notes. There
is no comparable product for .Net CF available at any price.
It is very difficult to make SPC chart displays
small enough to fit on the Windows Mobile, PDA, PC Phone, and other
emulators that ship with Windows Visual Studio. Those emulators have
tiny, tiny screens. While it is possible to run this software on small
screens, it is assumed you want this software to run on dedicated
Windows CE devices with a minimum screen resolution of 640 x 480. If you
already have hardware that meets this requirement, you can use your
actual hardware device as your development environment. If you have an
emulator for your hardware (usually supplied by the hardware
manufacturer as part of a development kit they sell), you can use
that. All of the images on this page
were create using a generic, standalone, Windows CE 5.0 emulator from
Microsoft, set to a screen resolution of 800x600. It can be downloaded
from Microsoft here:

| Integrated Table Support - Sampled values,
calculated data values and alarm status values can be part of the SPC Control chart. Every
sample subgroup has a pop-up notes text edit box where an operator can
add observations. |

| Integrated Frequency Histograms – The
variable control charts and attribute control charts can display a
frequency histogram, with an optional normal curve-fit, of the process variable side by side with the main SPC chart. |
| Customize Chart Objects - All of the plot
objects created in the SPC chart templates are accessible to the
programmer, allowing tremendous flexibility in the look of the SPC
charts. |

| Due to the constraints (processing power, memory, display
resolution, printer support) of mobile devices, the .Net
Compact Framework is a subset of the regular .Net
runtime system used on workstations. These limitations restrict some of the features implemented in the QCSPCChart CF software.
|
| Brushes
-
The .Net Compact
Framework Brush class is also very basic. Brushes
have only a color attribute, no texture or gradient brushes are
included. |
| Color - The .Net
Compact Frameworks color model does not support alpha
blending so transparent colors are not possible. |
| Printer Support -The .Net
Compact Framework does not support printer output. |
| Coordinate Transformations
- The .Net Compact Framework does not support the
coordinate transform routines found in the .Net
System.Drawing.Drawing2D classes. As a result, text and bitmap images used in charts cannot be rotated.
|
| Image Output - Charts cannot be saved as image files. |
| Our license agreement can be found

| The QCSPCChart CF for .Net Compact Framework Developer
License is
available in a Developers Version (model # NETCF-SPC2-DEVR)
that does not time out. Free updates for two years. The
Developers Version of the QCSPCChart CF
software includes the QCChart2D CF software and there is no
need to purchase QCChart2D CF separately. |
| The QCSPCChart CF for .Net Compact Framework Developer
License is licensed to a single
individual. It cannot be used by multiple people at the same
company, unless a separate license is purchased for each person. Site
licenses are also available. Contact
sales@quinn-curtis.com
with details of how many seats you wish to purchase and we will
respond with a quote. |
| The QCSPCChart CF for .Net Compact Framework Developer
License software does not use a redistributable
license, unlike the previous versions of the software. The basic developer license permits you to
include QCSPCChart CF as part of your application and
distribute an unlimited number of copies of your application,
royalty free. |
| The QCSPCChart CF Tools software does not use a
redistributable license. The basic developer license permits you to
include QCSPCChart CF as part of your application and distribute
an unlimited number of copies of your application, royalty free. We
do not allow developers to use this software to create a graphics
toolkit (a library or any type of graphics component that will be
used in combination with a program development environment) for
resale to other developers. |
Custom Programming Services
| The QCSPCChart CF SPC Control Chart Tools for .Net Compact
Framework is an extremely powerful and flexible software
package. It contains over 1000 methods and properties in more than
120 classes. The user manual and help file documentation are
more than 1500 pages. This can be overwhelming to the average
programmer who wants to start programming today and have the
prototype of an application working in a week. |
| The variety of user interfaces for charting applications is as
diverse as the industries using the software. The end-user of an
application at a drug company expects to interact with the chart in
a manner different than that of an end-user in the automotive
industry. |
| We know that your application may be similar to, but still
uniquely different from any of our example programs. To that end we
offer our programming services to write for you a custom example
program that demonstrates how to code the chart format and user
interface you want. That jump start to your project can save you
many weeks of work and make you look like a chart programming
genius. All you have to be able to do is describe in detail
what you want the example to do. |
| Using QCSPCChart CF, our range of expertise
includes Managed C++ (MC++), C++/CLR, VB, and C# programming languages.
