Home Tab

The Home tab contains commands related to using the Clipboard and printing data sheets. It also contains statistical tools such as the Monte Carlo data simulation tool and the Quick Parameter Estimator.

Clipboard

  Paste

  Cut cuts the selected text to the Clipboard. Data stored in the Clipboard can be pasted into any data sheet within the application or in other applications.

  Copy copies the selected text to the Clipboard. Data stored in the Clipboard can be pasted into any data sheet within the application or in other documents. If you are copying a plot, the way the plot is copied will depend on your selection in the Plot Copy Type field in the Synthesis Setup window.

  Format Painter allows you to copy the format properties of text in a sheet and apply it to other text. To use the Format Painter, select the text with the format properties that are to be copied and then choose Format Painter. Next, click the text to which the format properties are to be applied.

Edit

  Redo reapplies the previously canceled action. You can redo multiple actions by choosing Redo again.

  Undo cancels the last editing change you made to the sheet.

  Delete deletes the selected text.

  Clear

  Format Selection opens the Format submenu, which contains the following commands.

  Select All selects all of the cells in the currently active sheet.

  Find opens the Find window, which allows you to search through the active sheet for text and/or numbers in values or formulas and, if desired, replace the found material.

  Spelling activates the Spell Check utility, which allows you to check the spelling within the current sheet.

Print

  Print sends the current data sheet or spreadsheet to the printer.

  Print Preview opens the Print Preview window, which allows you to view how the current data sheet or spreadsheet will appear on the printed page.  

  Page Setup opens the Page Setup window, which allows you to specify printing options.

  Print Layout displays the page boundary lines on the reliability block diagram (RBD). Everything within the boundary lines will appear on the printed page and this view allows you to make any necessary adjustments to the final look of the diagram before sending it to the printer.

Tools

  Weibull++ Monte Carlo opens the Weibull++ Monte Carlo utility, which allows you to generate a data set that fits a specified life distribution or user-defined model. The generated data set can then be analyzed like any other data set and used in a variety of applications such as in the analysis of probabilistic design models or to compare the data generated from simulation with actual field data.

  ALTA Monte Carlo opens the ALTA Monte Carlo utility, which allows you to generate a data set that fits a specified life distribution and life-stress relationship at specified stress conditions. The generated data set can then be analyzed like any other data set and used in a variety of applications such as in the analysis of probabilistic design models or to compare the data generated from simulation with actual field data.  

  Non-Linear Equation Root Finder opens the Non-Linear Equation Root Finder utility, which allows you to solve for the root of any user-defined non-linear equation. This helps you eliminate some of the guesswork of solving for the value of the unknown variable that brings the function as close to zero as possible.

  Quick Statistical Reference opens the Quick Statistical Reference utility, which allows you to calculate common statistical values such as median ranks, chi-squared values and student's t values. It also includes a polynomial interpolation/extrapolation function, which allows you to obtain new data points from a set of known data points that you provide.

  Quick Parameter Estimator (W++) opens the Weibull++ version of the QPE, which allows you to estimate the parameters of a distribution based on information you have about the reliability of a product, the probability of an event occurring or the typical duration of a task.

  Quick Parameter Estimator (ALTA) opens the ALTA version of the QPE, which allows you to estimate the parameters of a model based on information you have about the reliability of a product at normal and accelerated stress levels.  

Launch

  Another Synthesis Application provides a drop-down list of the other Synthesis applications that are installed on your computer. When you click an icon, the same database will automatically be opened in the new application.
