ITEM TOOLKIT

Analysis Menu
Chapter 3 ToolKit Basics 95
The analysis menu is not used with the Failure Rate Prediction modules and does not appear when these modules are active.
It is only used with the FMECA, RBD, Markov, Event Tree and Fault Tree Modules. The menu selection will be different
depending on the analysis module in use. The FMECA, RBD, Markov, Event Tree and Fault Tree Modules do not
automatically update their calculation when data is entered or changes are made, as do the prediction modules. The reason
for this is that the calculation on these modules can take some time on highly complex projects. The Perform (green GO
icon) menu selection is one place in the system to initiate the analysis calculation and update the results. This menu also
includes selections for verifying that all data has been entered correctly, which is a major help on complex projects to insure
that all required data is entered and it is entered correctly.
Chart Menu
The Chart menu provides options for creating and customizing charts using the ToolKit graph engine. The menu is the
same for all modules and offers the following commands:
• Save Chart As Dib File: This option saves the active chart in dib (bmp) file format.
• Save Chart As Jpeg File: This option saves the active chart in jpeg file format.
• Edit Graph: Displays a dialog box that allows you to modify and edit specific areas and each piece of data
displayed within the chart. It should be noted however, that modifications made to the data by using this option
do not change the data inside ToolKit.
• Wizard: Launches the Chart Wizard that allows you to change the type of graph displayed, title, legend and
other standard chart formatting items.
• Graph Options: Launches the Graph Options window used to select the data displayed in the graph for the
selected system. It then generates the actual graph display.
• Set Layout to Default: Returns the graph style and display to the ToolKit default style.
