Parameter Descriptions

chartsTable=list(casouttable)

specifies the charts summary output data table.

For more information about specifying the chartsTable parameter, see the common casouttable (Form 1) parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

ciAlpha=double

specifies the confidence level that is used to compute capability index confidence limits.

Default 0.05
Minimum value (exclusive) 0

ciIndices=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, computes capability index confidence limits that are based on subgroup summary data.

Default FALSE

ciType="LOWER" | "TWOSIDED" | "UPPER"

specifies the type of confidence limits that are computed for capability indices: lower, upper, or two-sided.

Default TWOSIDED
LOWER

requests lower confidence limits for capability indices.

TWOSIDED

requests two-sided confidence limits for capability indices.

UPPER

requests upper confidence limits for capability indices.

display=list(displayTables)

specifies a list of results tables to send to the client for display.

For more information about specifying the display parameter, see the common displayTables parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

exChart=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, includes a control chart in the results only when exceptions occur.

Default FALSE

groupByLimit=64-bit-integer

suppresses the analysis if the number of groups exceeds the specified value.

Minimum value 1

limitsTable=list(castable)

specifies the control limits data table.

For more information about specifying the limitsTable parameter, see the common castable (Form 1) parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

nMvgRange=integer

specifies the number of consecutive subgroups that are used to calculate the moving range.

Default 2
Range 2–25

no3SigmaCheck=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, enables tests for special causes when the control limits are not three sigma limits.

Default FALSE

outLimitsTable=list(casouttable)

specifies the output control limits data table.

For more information about specifying the outLimitsTable parameter, see the common casouttable (Form 1) parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

outputTables=list(outputTables)

lists the names of results tables to save as CAS tables on the server.

For more information about specifying the outputTables parameter, see the common outputTables parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

Alias displayOut

primaryTests=list(tests)

requests one or more tests for special causes for the primary control chart.
