Collect a startup sample

Learn more about Real-Time SPC

A startup sample is a data collection taken immediately after the station comes online from an offline state. A startup sample helps to ensure that the product meets the quality standards prior to bulk production.

Specify whether to collect a startup sample when you define the sampling plan. For more information on defining a sampling plan, go to Example of adding a new sampling plan.
