Forthcoming CHARTrunner expands charting, e-mail options

Users of the popular PQ Systems CHARTrunner program will be delighted with new capabilities to send charts as e-mail or create web pages; new charting capabilities may provide them with even greater flexibility.

Focus groups, especially those in healthcare institutions, have made it clear that box and whisker charts, new SPC chart types, new out-of-control test rules, and enhanced customization are important to the functionality of the software. PQ Systems has responded with these critical features as well as other enhancements that will delight users, according to software development manager Steve Daum.

CHARTrunner creates control charts, histograms, Pareto, and other SPC charts from virtually any data source, including Excel and Access databases. It eliminates the need for complex importing, time consuming exporting, and tedious data entry. That's because CHARTrunner does not store or modify raw data. Instead, it retrieves data from other sources and uses the data for statistical charting and analysis. CHARTrunner clarifies data for easy analysis in quality assurance, even if the data has been gathered for other purposes.

Other features that users will find in the early-2005 CHARTrunner release include 3-D bar options, mapping specifications from the data source, three-way control charts, short-run spc, more control of data grids and extra lines displayed on charts, and greatly enhanced user documentation.

Training sessions to enhance understanding of the full power of this release have been scheduled in cities nationwide for early 2005.
