ALT Parameters
The window beneath the LDA Navigator contains one or more panes, depending on the selected analysis type.
• When Accelerated Life Testing is selected, this window contains different panes, depending on the folder selected under Data Sets. When the Life Data folder is selected, two panes are available: Parameters and Plot Options
• When Accelerated Degradation is selected, the same two panes are available.
These two panes display analysis parameters and plot options.
• Parameters — Specifies parameters for analyzing the selected data set.
• Plot Options — Specifies the number and type of plots to display in the ALT Plot pane in the window on the right.
When a life data set is calculated, results display at the bottom of the Parameters pane, in this Calculation results area. Here, you can specify a fixed value for a particular calculated value if you want. The results shown depend on the distribution selected.
All panes in the lower right window display toolbar buttons on the right side of the title bar. Buttons are available only when they are applicable to the active data set.
You can click these toolbar buttons to perform common tasks, including:
• Calculating the active data set
• Showing the plot for the active data set
• Opening the Summary Calculator window to perform additional calculations
• Running best fit distribution analysis
