SigQC version 14.3.2.1 and greater supports a feature termed Post Process Template Design-Time Mode. This feature is designed to aid development of post process templates by allowing intermediate results to be viewed
interactively. In addition to all of the existing post process calculation steps, data graph steps have been added to allow display of data from the output of any calculation step. While in design time mode, access to data stored in
the database is readily available for temporary execution of the process. This allows users to quickly visualize the effect of calculations and verify results as the post process template is created.

To better explain the feature, an example will be developed based on a common problem that is encountered on many test stations; data trimming. For this example, assume production units are exercised through four motions; a DC motor is used to drive the unit. All that is given to SigQC is a start and stop signal to indicate the beginning and ending of the entire test. SigAnalyzer is used to acquire a DC current signal and one vibration channel using an accelerometer. The task is to separate the complete test sequence into the four separate motions using the DC
current signal, then generate a maximum vibration metric over these motions.

Development of post process templates only makes sense after some raw time measurements have been acquired. This example begins after creating an initial database and collecting current and vibration data over the
complete sequence of motions. The product database is simple; one model containing one acceptance test that has two data sources. A preliminary look at the measured current signal reveals the 4 separate motions, separated by momentary open circuit conditions where the current signal falls to zero between motions. Note, the vibration signal is acquired synchronously with the current signal and reflects the transient vibration as the motor starts and stops.
