Enter up to 200 data points in the cells
provided. Do not enter values in the subgroup
column. These cells update automatically to
show the subgroup in which the data point is
included
Identify any out of control conditions. Four
tests are performed. Use the legend to
identify the points corresponding to a
particular test.
If a test looks for a proportion of points, only
the offending point will be identified. For
example, if eight points in a row are on one
side of the centerline only the eighth point will
be identified.
