Available now from Adept Scientific is the latest version of Quality Analyst, the comprehensive statistical process control charting and analysis tool from Northwest Analytical.

NWA Quality Analyst provides the best combination of power, flexibility, and ease of use of any SPC (statistical process control) software available.

It conforms to the most stringent technical requirements and easily integrates into manufacturing data systems.

NWA Quality Analyst users gain a fundamental desktop tool which will fit any industry and business, from parts manufacture to chemicals to food processing.

It can meet analytical needs, whether vendor certification, process improvement or regulatory compliance.

Quality Analyst now uses operating system permissions to protect DAT and HED files from even temporary modification, thereby preventing manipulation of statistics.

This means that Quality Analyst meets the requirements of 21CFR Part 11, the widely recognised standard on safeguarding data sets in regulated environments.

A new denormalise function allows users to read from "normalised" database tables that currently require complex SQL queries.

This enables highly effective connectivity, making it easier for users to connect to the dataset they are interested in.

Exception reporting allows users to create multiple exception report definitions for each data set.

The reports will list specification, control limit, and/or rule violations for selected variables, and will display the associated SPC chart with the click of a button.

This facility will enable users to easily see the results they are most interested in.

To enable database connection where the database field names are long, NWA Quality Analyst now allows variable names which are longer than 8 characters.

It will also allow users to specify either a period (.) or a comma (,) as decimal separator.

By allowing users to choose the most appropriate decimal symbol for their needs, the package is now well suited to international and European companies.
