RAM Commander provides a facility to import failure rate table data from ASCII files. Each line in the ASCII file must have the following format:
Field name |
Type |
Width |
Values |
|---|---|---|---|
Part Number |
String |
User defined, maximum 31 |
User defined |
Environment |
S-text |
3 |
See values in Top item definition paragraph |
Temperature |
Integer |
User defined, |
numeric, from -273 to 1000 degrees centigrade |
FR or MTBF |
Floating point |
User defined, |
Any positive floating point number |
The fields must appear in the order noted above. The ASCII file name can have any extension, but defaults to a *.dat extension.
To import a failure rate table:
| 1. | From the Library menu, choose GPRD; the GPRD library opens. |
| 2. | Choose "Import from ASCII" from the Library menu.. |
| 3. | The FR Table Import dialog box opens: |
| 4. | Enter values for field width and default values for environment and temperature, so that these values will be used as a default if no values are provided in the ASCII file that is being imported. |
| 5. | Select Failure Rate or MTBF, depending on the type of data in your import file. |
| 6. | Click OK. |
| 7. | In the Open dialog box, select the ASCII file containing the data to be imported. |
| 8. | Click OK. |
RAM Commander imports the file directly into the GPRD library. Environment and Temperature fields without data are assigned the default values you set in step 4.
