When using the SPC Chart Configuration Wizard within a GridWorX Viewer control, you have the option to 'Show Histogram Chart'.
Setup for the Histogram Chart is similar to a regular SPC Chart, as shown below.
SPC Chart Configuration Wizard First Screen
The second window remains the same, as shown below.
SPC Chart Configuration Wizard - Window 2
The third window of the SPC Chart Configuration Wizard does change when 'Show Histogram Chart' has been selected. You will see the additional options of Histogram Bars Color and Histogram Critical Color, as shown below. Note that only solid colors can be selected for both of these options.
SPC Chart Configuration Wizard - Window 3
Click on the Create button to create the SPC Chart with Histogram.
You will then see a placeholder chart, with Histogram, within the GridWorX Viewer as shown below.
SPC Chart with Histogram Sample
Once you view the SPC Chart (with Histogram) in Runtime mode, it will load the connected data (such as from SPC tags configured through the Quality AnalytiX provider) and display it accordingly.
SPC Chart with Histogram in Runtime
The SPC Chart with Histogram in Runtime mode allows you to perform functions similar to other GridWorX charts (Refresh Data, Enable Cursor, Freeze, Export to Image, Print, Print Preview, Load Configuration, Save Configuration, Show/Hide Toolbar).
An additional function is the ability to add annotations. Once you click on a point within the Average or range charts, you'll be able to add your relevant note, as shown below.
Add SPC Annotation Window
Once you have entered your note, click OK. You'll then see the following confirmation window.
Annotation Window
In addition, you'll also see a colored dot on your annotated point, as shown below. You can then freeze the chart at any time later on and return back to this or other annotated points to review your note(s).
Annotated Point (Highlighted)
When using a Histogram Chart within the GridWorX Viewer and then returning to Configuration mode, you'll notice an additional set of properties, Statistics, has been added, as shown below. [For info, on SPC Chart configuration without Histograms, see Using SPC Charts in GridWorX - Configurator].
