measure create range
Allows you to use range measures to obtain statistical feedback about any existing measure. Ranges dynamically calculate the maximum, minimum, average, or variation characteristics of any measure.
Format:
measure create range | |
|---|---|
measure_name = | new mea_range |
type = | range_type |
of_measure_name = | existing measure name |
create_measure_display = | boolean |
legend = | string |
Example:
measure create range & | |
|---|---|
measure_name = | range_mea_angle_measure & |
tpe = | maximum & |
of_measure_name = | my_mea_angle__1 & |
create_measure_display = | yes & |
legend = | "maximum angle between the links" |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
measure_name | New Name For The Range Measure | Specifies the name of the new measure to be created. |
type | Minimum, Maximum, Average, Variation, Same_as | Specifies type of the range measure. |
of_measure_name | Existing Measure | Specifies existing, predefined measure to analyze. |
create_measure_display | Yes/no | Type Yes if you want to display the strip chart of the measure. |
legend | String | Specifies comments for the range measure. |

Range Measure Characteristic Descriptions
The following table describes the characteristics that range measures provide. For information on the conventions used, see Conventions.
The measure: | Description: | Definition/Formula: |
|---|---|---|
Average | Arithmetic mean of current set of measured data. |  |
Minimum | Minimum value in the current set of measured data. | Min (M1, M2, ..., Mn) |
Maximum | Maximum value in the current set of measured data. | Max (M1, M2, ..., Mn) |
Variation | Difference between the maximum and minimum value in the current set of measured data. | Maximum - Minimum |
