LabVIEW has many statistical function that enable adding SPC to your application. I use the functions extensively in my applications and am glad I don't have to revert to a third party tool or write my own. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Histogram.vi - Creates histogram bins from raw data
- Continuous Random.vi - Creates a distribution of data points based on a few key parameters. For example, a normal distribution can be created by specifying the sample size, mean and standard deviation. I use this when implementing Monte Carlo analysis.
- Statistics Express VI - This express VI contains numerous statistics parameters all in the same VI.
