After failures are inserted into Reliability Growth table, you may specify the required MTBF and calculate:

a. Required Test Time by known Growth Rate (α)

  or

b. Growth Rate (α) by known Test Time.

 

To perform the calculation:

1.From the Reliability Growth menu, choose RG Planning; the RG Planning dialog box opens:

RG_Planning

2.Enter a value for the required MTBF.
3.Enter value for one of the two following fields:
Required Test Time
Growth Rate (see formula in the next paragraph)
4.Move the cursor to another field; RAM Commander computes and displays the second parameter.
5.Choose OK.

 

You can review and edit the required mean time between failure values for each item in the Reliability growth list:

1.From the Reliability Growth menu, choose the MTBF required:

RG_MTBF_Req

2.In the MTBF required dialog box, select the reference designator whose required MTBF you want to set.
3.RAM Commander displays the current value in the MTBF required dialog box.
4.To modify, enter a new value and choose OK to close.
