Plot Tab

Plot Sheet Control Panel

The control panel in the plot sheet allows you to control the options that go along with the plot. The options available in the control panel vary depending on the type of folio or tool that the plot is associated with. A table showing the available options for each folio or tool follows.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, all options apply to both Weibull++ and ALTA.

The control panel tools include the following options:

Opens the Specify Life Lines window, which allows you to enter up to 10 unreliability values for each additional life line you would like to see plotted on life vs. stress plots.

This option is available only for Contour plots. It opens the Contours Setup window, which allows you to select the contour lines to be shown, the confidence levels represented by the lines and the resolution.  If an error in calculating the selected contour lines is encountered, this button will turn red. Use the Contours Setup window to adjust the settings.

This option is available only if the data sheet uses the MLE analysis method. If selected, it adjusts the y-axis plotting positions so that the data points are plotted directly on the MLE line (i.e., at the position where the failure time intersects the MLE line). The solution of the MLE line is obtained from the likelihood function and not from the plotting positions of the points; therefore, this plot setting does not affect the parameter estimates.

Opens the Use Stress Level window, which allows you to enter a use stress value for the selected stress type.

Folio Tools

The folio tools are arranged on the left side of the control panel:

  Redraw Plot updates the plot to reflect any changes that have been made.

  Plot Setup opens the Plot Setup window, which allows you to customize most aspects of the plot including the titles, line styles and point styles.

  RS Draw launches ReliaSoft Draw, which allows you to annotate your plot and view your plot in greater detail.

  Side-by-Side Plots adds a side-by-side plot to the project, which allows you to view different plots in a single window, and associates the current folio and data sheet with the side-by-side plot. If no side-by-side plots exist in the project, selecting this option creates one. Otherwise, a window will appear which allows you to select an existing side-by-side plot to associate the data sheet with or to create a new one.

  QCP opens the Quick Calculation Pad (QCP), which allows you to obtain reliability results based on the currently active folio.

The following table displays the available Weibull++ plot sheet control panel options for each folio or tool.

The following table displays the available ALTA plot sheet control panel options for each folio or tool.
