The Profiler
Factor Settings is a submenu that consists of the following options:
Remember Settings adds an outline node to the report that accumulates the values of the current
settings each time the Remember Settings command is invoked. Each remembered setting is preceded
by a radio button that is used to reset to those settings.
Set To Data in Row assigns the values of a data table row to the Profiler.
Copy Settings Script and Paste Settings Script allow you to move the current Profiler’s settings to a
Profiler in another report.
Append Settings to Table appends the current profiler’s settings to the end of the data table. This is
useful if you have a combination of settings in the Profiler that you want to add to an experiment in
order to do another run.
Link Profilers links all the profilers together, so that a change in a factor in one profiler causes that factor
to change to that value in all other profilers, including Surface Plot. This is a global option, set or unset
for all profilers.
Set Script sets a script that is called each time a factor changes. The set script receives a list of arguments
of the form
{factor1 = n1, factor2 = n2, ...}
For example, to write this list to the log, first define a function
ProfileCallbackLog = Function({arg},show(arg));
Then enter ProfileCallbackLog in the Set Script dialog.
Similar functions convert the factor values to global values:
ProfileCallbackAssign = Function({arg},evalList(arg));
Or access the values one at a time:
ProfileCallbackAccess =
Function({arg},f1=arg["factor1"];f2=arg["factor2"]);
Output Grid Table produces a new data table with columns for the factors that contain grid values,
columns for each of the responses with computed values at each grid point, and the desirability
computation at each grid point.
If you have a lot of factors, it is impractical to use the Output Grid Table command, since it produces a
large table. In such cases, you should lock some of the factors, which are held at locked, constant values.
To get the dialog to specify locked columns, Alt- or Option-click inside the profiler graph to get a dialog
that has a Lock Factor Setting checkbox.
