Defining Sampling Codes

To define sampling codes, use the Sampling Codes component (QS_MFDS_TYPES). This topic discusses how to define sampling codes.

Note:

Characteristic class and sampling frequency types are for reference and documentation only. System and processing behavior are not affected by their settings.

Pages Used to Define Sampling Codes

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Characteristic Class Types Page	QS_CLASS_TYPE	Maintain characteristic class types that note differences in inspection criticality or function. You use characteristic class types when defining measurement plans.
Sampling Frequency Types Page	QS_FRQ_TYPE	Maintain sampling frequency types that note the frequency for taking inspection samplings. You use sampling frequency types when creating control plans.

Characteristic Class Types Page

Use the Characteristic Class Types page (QS_CLASS_TYPE) to maintain characteristic class types that note differences in inspection criticality or function.

You use characteristic class types when defining measurement plans.

Navigation:

Quality, and then Define Methods and Procedures, and then Sampling Codes, and then Characteristic Class Types

Enter a class type code to qualify the quality control characteristics, either by criticality or function. Class types are associated with characteristics when you create measurement plans.

Sampling Frequency Types Page

Use the Sampling Frequency Types page (QS_FRQ_TYPE) to maintain sampling frequency types that note the frequency for taking inspection samplings.

You use sampling frequency types when creating control plans.

Navigation:

Quality, and then Define Methods and Procedures, and then Sampling Codes, and then Sampling Frequency Types

Enter a frequency code to specify the recommended frequency of inspection for a control plan.
