##### Acknowledging and Unacknowledging Variables

Acknowledging and Unacknowledging Variables – MonitorView can easily let you know when your part is out of tolerance or out of control. Parts containing out of tolerance or out of control variables are displayed in the colors already discussed.

Clicking the Acknowledge icon (or selecting the Monitor | Acknowledge Alarms menu item) turns the selected variables green, records the date and time you acknowledged them, and recalculates the control limits using data from the acknowledged date/time forward. Previous data is disregarded.

Clicking the Unacknowledge icon (or selecting the Monitor | Unacknowledge Alarms menu items) removes the acknowledgement from previously acknowledged variables and recalculates the current state of the variables. The system uses all available data to calculate control limits.
