changes to Port, and Port changes to IP).

The tool information window is unique for the tool.

Note: ‘Group’ can only be selected in the drop-down box if a


group was created in the Explorer window prior. If the current or
future tools need to be part of a desired group, then a Group

Process Capability

Real-Time monitoring provides process capability for tightening data.

Only items with the Status of "Fastening Complete" and "Fastening NG" are filtered and displayed as a bar
graph, which finally calculates the Cp, Cpk values.

Cp (Capability of process) means how many tightening torques are distributed within the LSL and USL
criteria that are generated based on target, and Cpk (Capability of process, katayori) indicates how constant
the tightening torques appear.
