Word Report Template Functions

This section presents the functions that can be entered in Word report templates in Weibull++ and ALTA by using the Function Wizard.

The Function Wizard must be used to initially add a function to a report template as the functions are inserted as fields. After doing so, you may copy the function and change its settings.

The functions are grouped into the following categories:

• General functions return basic information about the database, project and current user (e.g., project name and user name).

Format: [PROJECT]

Example: [PROJECT] returns the current project name.

• Data source functions return values that are based on the analysis in a specified data source (e.g., reliability, failure rate and mean).

Format: [RELIABILITY(Source Number)(Time)]

Example: [RELIABILITY(1)(1000)] uses the analysis in associated data source 1 to return the reliability at 1,000 hours.

• Confidence bounds functions return one-sided confidence bound values that are based on the analysis in a specified data source (e.g., bounds on reliability, failure rate and mean).

Format: [BOUNDREL(Source Number)(Time; Confidence Level)]

Example: [BOUNDREL(1)(1000;0.9)] uses the analysis in associated data source 1 to return the  90% one-sided confidence bound on the reliability at 1,000 hours.

• Table functions return values in a table format that are based on the analysis in a specified data source (e.g., probability of failure for a range of time, reliability for a range of time and parameter bounds).

Format: [TBLREL(Source Number)(Start Time;End Time;Time Increment)]

Example: [TBLREL(1)(100;500;50)] uses the analysis in associated data source 1 to return a table containing calculated reliability results at 100 hours and every additional 50 hours until 500 hours has been reached (i.e., 100, 150, 200, 250, etc.).
