    Variable Configuration

    Information

    Description

    Number of Subgroups

    The number of subgroups the statistical calculation is based upon.

    Subgroup Size

    The number of samples (tightening results) in each subgroup. The Subgroup Size can range from 2 through 25.

    Frequency

    The interval between the subgroups.
    Frequency must be equal to or higher than Subgroup Size.

    The total number of results (Number of Subgroups × Frequency) can range from 2 through 500.

    For instance, if Frequency is 8 and Subgroup Size is 5, the first 5 data (results) is used for the subgroup. Because of the Frequency =8, the next subgroup starts considering data (results) from the 8th one on, and so on in a loop.
