The built-in Report Viewer now has an alternative "Profiler" view:
In many places, the corresponding test report can be displayed by double-clicking in the table. In this report viewer there is now a second tab "Profiler" at the top left, which can be used to display the progress of the test steps over time. Details see corresponding chapter Profiler.
A new column >>"First failure" shows how often the displayed measurement was the first failed test step in the test execution. This enables a much better root cause analysis than just the number of failed measurements, because previously it was not clear whether a failed step was the cause or a subsequent error.
The new report options added in 1.7 influence the content of the imported reports. A small warning symbol now indicates that the import options are active. If no options are active, the symbol disappears again.
(Breaking Change!) From now on, all available aggregated measurements are consistently used for the calculation of statistical values, even if they contain NaN. Previous versions had filtered / ignored these values, which could lead to incorrect statistical values in individual cases. In V1.8 and above, such measurements will consistently return NaN (Not a Number) in the corresponding statistical values instead of a potentially incorrect value! In principle, it is not advisable to use incorrect measurements for an MSA report at all.
A new checkbox option "Remove Measurement ID Indices" has been added to the Import Options dialog. This removes all indices automatically added by reporting for multiple measurements during import. From Meas_A[1], Meas_A[2] ... Meas_A[10] becomes just Meas_A. In this way, several identical or similar measurements can be treated as the same measurement.
Please note that this option can only be used globally and may have an undesirable effect on the measurements! In the worst case, different measurements (e.g. a series of different channel measurements) are actually mapped in the same measurement! Normally, automatic indexing ensures that each measured value is evaluated individually. In certain cases, however, this may not lead to the desired result and the measured values cannot be compared in the desired way.
Example use cases:
Measurements are deliberately repeated in the test to enable averaging. Without this option, it would still be individual measurements
For an MSA report, a measurement was repeated 50 times in a loop instead of creating 50 individual reports as recommended. With this option, the measured values can still be used
In principle, this option is a special case handling. It should normally be deactivated!
The new option to remove the indices can cause several measurements to coincide at the same point in the previous display. Previously, the measurements were displayed according to their report position in the group or globally, or according to timestamp. The new axis offers the option of simply listing all measurement values found for the measurement one after the other, regardless of their report source. The list is displayed in ascending order, so the execution sequence is always retained.
In individual cases, it can take a long time to display the search result when searching directories, e.g. when selecting very large network folders. Previously, this process could not be interrupted. As of version 1.8, the search can now be aborted with the ESC key.
Previously, reports that had already been loaded were ignored if the same ID was loaded during a new import. However, as content may be changed during or after import (Measurement Filter), it was previously only possible to completely reload the content if the report had previously been deleted. From V1.8, a report that has already been loaded is completely replaced when it is re-imported. The report is retained in groups that have already been created. Statistical values are recalculated.
Set number format in graphical curve comparison is now taken into account in the table
LSL (lower limit) was not marked with *) if substitute values were used
Some lists were not updated correctly when changing the measurement if a filter was active
The list of failed imports was not displayed correctly
New Import Options dialog for all import plugins:
filter by date
remove steps by status (done / passed / failed / error)
keep first failed or error step
remove additional results
remove infotext
add custom header data
New module/tab Group Statistics with statistics about FPY, all contained test executions, steps and attributes.
Reporting possible via context menu: new context menu "Show statistics" for manual selection of test executions in many views (Import, Grouping, Error Distribution)
Selected tests (use checkbox) can now be added to existing groups via Drag & Drop
Selected tests (use checkbox) can now be added to existing groups via new 'Add to Group' button
Performance has been significantly improved in many places, especially in the area of group management
Please note that all used runtime libraries are compiled at the first start. This may take a few minutes. The process requires administrator rights.
Subsequent program starts should be noticeably faster.
This allows measurements to be filtered according to whether the core values have been changed. In this case, either manually changed limits or automatically generated substitute values in the case of non-uniform limits are considered as changes. Note: The column is hidden by default, but can be activated in the column chooser dialog (right mouse button on a column header)
Using the context menu, almost all tables can now be exported in many different formats. In most cases, visual formats are also exported, but this depends on the selected output format. The selection of columns is based on the current view (with some exceptions). To start the export of a table open the context menu with the right mouse button click on "Export":
A dialog with preview opens. Here you can adjust the page format and choose an output format:
Alternatively, you can copy the contents of the table to the clipboard and paste it e.g. into an Excel spreadsheet (also via the context menu, see above)
Unwanted measurements can now be selected and deleted directly from the measured value table. To do this, the respective measured values are selected (if necessary, with the help of the shift or control key) and then the DEL key is pressed. After a confirmation prompt, the corresponding measurements are then removed.
To delete a measurement directly from the graph panel proceed as follows:
Click on the measurement point (the points must be visible and the zoom level must not be too small if there are many measurement points).
The detail view opens (right panel)
Click here on "Remove measurement" and confirm the security prompt
To make the changes visible immediately, click the "Refresh" button and re-select the measurement to update the graph.
Attention: In both methods the corresponding test executions including ALL test steps are removed from ALL groups and the import list!
Important: To avoid unnecessary waiting times due to sometimes time-consuming recalculations of the analysis values after the deletion process, a new analysis is not performed automatically, but must be triggered either via the "Refresh" button or by switching to another module (e.g. error distribution)!
The mentioned columns are now colored by default according to the following rules: Values up to 1: red Values up to 2: yellow
The selected threshold values of 2 for "good" may be overly critical and can be adjusted if necessary (see below).
Background: Unfortunately, rational number values have to be entered in the currently selected number format, i.e. either as comma or decimal point. Therefore, we cannot preset this setting with e.g. "1.66". In addition, this is to avoid that bad values are possibly overlooked depending on the selected formula settings. All in all, the default setting also serves more as an indication of the possibilities of conditional formatting, which you are welcome to adjust according to your wishes.
For this setting to take effect, the default layout may need to be reset. Alternatively, or to adjust the limits, this behavior can be created or changed manually if necessary:
right click on a column header
"Conditional Formatting" => "Manage Rules"
"New rule", or "Edit rule".
Customize the rule according to your needs,e.g. change the limit value
