Item | Description
Database Directories | The Database Directories list shows the different directories in which a database application could reside. You can add or delete directories from this list. A maximum of ten directories per STATS/ON command can be selected to which statistical information can be sent.

Add Directory to List... | The Add Directory to List button displays the Add Directory To List dialog box that lets you specify a directory containing a database you want to use with DataPage: Add Directory to List When the dialog box appears, you can either type the pathway containing the database in the Statistics directory to add box, or click the ... button to browse to the directory. Then click OK. to add the specified directory into the Database Directories list.

Use the Remove Previous-Used Directory to remove previously defined directories.

Delete Directory from List | The Delete Directory from List button deletes the selected database directory from the Database Directories list.
Delete Current Stats File | The Delete Current Stats File button deletes your xstats11.tmp file.
Update Database Now... | The Update Database Now button updates your database application with statistical data gained from your current part program. Simply click this button and follow the instructions on screen. Upon successful execution of a part program, selected Dimension and Trace Field information is stored within a file named XSTATS11.tmp located in the directory to which you installed PC-DMIS (usually the C:\PCDMISW directory). The information in this file can then be transferred to a different directory, printed out, or sent to a database application.

Note: If a database application is unavailable, PC-DMIS will display a message informing you that it couldn't find the update executable (for the DataPage application, this is DPUPDATE.exe) to load XSTATS11.tmp into the database.

DataPage Variable Name | The options in the DataPage Variable Name area indicate whether the dimension name or feature name will be used to identify entries in DataPage. The maximum length of the name is 10 characters. To choose either the dimension name or the feature name, select the Use Dimension Name option or the Use Feature Name option.
Do Control Calculations | The options in the Do Control Calculations area indicate whether the control calculations that take place within Datapage should be used. Selecting the On option performs the out of tolerance control calculations. Additionally, it commands the DataPage statistics update program (DPUPDATE) to perform the control calculations and set the part/variable and in/out of tolerance/control indicators in the database. You can monitor this database using DataPage's Monitor mode by turning on the part/variables colors (red/yellow/green) based on those calculations. For additional information, see the help file that ships with DataPage's Monitor mode application.

To turn control calculations on or off simply select either the On or the Off option. The default setting is Off.

Read Lock | The Read Lock box allows you to determine the maximum number of seconds that PC-DMIS will wait for database access when reading. The default value is 10 seconds.
Write Lock | The Write Lock box allows you to determine the maximum number of seconds that PC-DMIS will wait for database access when writing. The default value is 20 seconds.
Memory Pages | The Memory Pages box allows you to enter in the number of 4K pages to reserve for database tables when opening a database. The minimum (and default) number of pages that can be open is four.
