Multi-Phase Plot Control Panel

For reliability growth data analysis only.

In the Multi-Phase Plot window’s control panel, the Plot Type drop-down list allows you to select whether the plot will display the mean time between failures (MTBF) or failure intensity, while the Units drop-down list allows you to select the units, which are defined at the database level.
