CHARTrunner is a software application for creating, displaying, and publishing statistical process control charts (SPC charts), quality charts, and histograms. The charts may use data from a wide variety of sources including Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, SQL Server, Oracle, text files, DAO data sources, OLE DB (ADO) data sources, and ODBC drivers. In addition, Software Developer's Kit programmers can use an in-memory recordset that is populated with data fetched by your program, so that any source of data obtainable by your program can be analyzed and charted.
The CHARTrunner Software Developer's Kit contains documentation and sample code that demonstrate how to automate
CHARTrunner and integrate it with other systems and applications. The CHARTrunner SPC charting engine provides you with a powerful system integration solution for your quality control charting and analysis needs.
