Auto Stats area
PC-DMIS can save statistical data to an output file and then update a database from that file. You define where to save stats in the STATS/ON command. For more information on the STATS/ON command, see the "Tracking Statistical Data" chapter.
The check boxes in the Auto Stats area control whether PC-DMIS shows certain prompts when it executes STATS/ON commands.
ALWAYS Save Stats to File
If you clear this check box, PC-DMIS asks if it's okay to save the statistics. This occurs when execution starts and your measurement routine has a STATS/ON command in it.
If you mark this check box, PC-DMIS saves the statistical data without asking you.
ALWAYS Update Database
If you clear this check box, PC-DMIS asks if you want to update the database. This occurs after PC-DMIS saves the statistical data to the file and is about to update a database.
If you mark this check box, PC-DMIS updates the database whenever it collects and saves statistical data without asking you.
For details on the locations of PC-DMIS files, see "Understanding File Locations".
