Statistical Data Block – Typical Uses

You can use the Statistical Data block to:  

  • Measure process values such as density, weight, and size.
  • Sample event-triggered values such as weights.
  • Sample operator information such as times in Manual mode through a Data link in the iFIX WorkSpace.
  • Calculate control limits and XBARBAR, RBAR, and SBAR values at startup after collecting a pre-determined number of groups or based upon a moving average.
  • Process other blocks through the Next Block field.
