What functions does DTTools Perform? DTTools allows the user to quickly import any comma delimited text file, such as process data captured using DataTrap 3000, in spreadsheet format. The user may view statistics on individual data sets and/or export the data to a text file for import into a loop tuning package such as ENTECH™.

Familiar Windows Interface - DTTools uses the familiar Windows™ architecture and environment, users can quickly begin using DTTools to make informed decisions based on the valuable process data that has been captured.

DTTools is Flexible - The user is not limited to data captured with DataTrap 3000. DTTools allows the user to import any comma delimited text file in spreadsheet format. Data captured using Datatrap 3000 (with or without ENTECH Headers) or plain text files with process data contained in them may be imported. DTTools handles the determination of the type of data imported seamlessly, allowing the user to simply select the data set from the spreadsheet.

DTTools Array of Calculations - Included in DTTools suite of functions are calculations (some statistical) that may be performed on individual data sets. Calculated data provided to the user includes:

The calculated values are displayed in a custom form for the user to view.

Other Features - Also included on the custom form are some other functions that the user may find useful after calculating statistics on the selected data set. The user has the option of printing the form with the calculated values, copying the calculated data t another worksheet via the "Copy Stats" command button, or "Trim Outliers" which deletes all data outside of the Lower and Upper Fence values. This function allows for better data clarity, an absolute necessity for process loop tuning. If "Trim Outliers" is selected, the necessary data is deleted and the Calculate Statistics form is redisplayed with the updated calculations.
