X-Color QC v2.1.1 Jobs (MA98) Q&A
QUESTION |
ANSWER |
| How many Jobs can I store on the instrument? | Multiple Jobs can be stored on the MA98, but how many is determined by the size of the individual Jobs |
| How many Standards can I store in a Job? | There is a limit of 1000 Standards on the instrument |
| How many measurement points can I include in a workflow? |
The number of measurement points multiplied by the number of tags [global or individual] for each measurement point plus the number of measurement points themselves must be 64 or less |
| Can I use any Tag in a Job? | No, only predefined tags are allowed in a Job |
| What could cause problems when downloading a Job to an instrument? | Job Names or Standard Names that contain non‐standard characters [for example: ü] |
| How can I make setting up a Job easier? | There is a new function in Version 2.1.1 which allows to copy and paste measurement locations |
| Can I define a measurement point in a Job to be valid for button or pressure sensor measurement? | Yes |
| Can a measurement point be set to more than 5 measurements for averaging? | No, this is not supported in the MA98 firmware |
| Can I copy Jobs? | No, Jobs cannot be copied within the database and if an existing Jobs is saved to a new name, the old name is removed |
| Can I exchange Jobs with a customer? | No, not currently but this feature is planned for a future version. |
| Can I have a variable parameter which allows me to assign Job data to a specific lot number? | Yes, when uploading the measurement results the program will ask for the Batch ID and the name will automatically be assigned: Batch ID‐description of the job‐element |
| Do I need to set the number of illumination angles during the Job operation? |
No, this is automatically decided by the setup of the Standard: |
|
What do I have to do to work with the same Standard 1)in tethered mode with 19 angels and 2)on the instrument with 10 angles? | Currently the standard will have to be stored twice, once with the 10 and once with 19 angles. |
| What is the easiest way to collect new samples in the field? | Prepare a Job with a dummy standard and [in the field] select this Job, if a new samples are measured, they can be uploaded to XCQC and will be stored against the standard “dummy” and can be saved as a standard from there |
