Transfer to New Data Type

For reliability growth data analysis only.

In some cases, you can transfer your data from one type of data sheet to another. This option is available only for fielded data and some of the multiple systems data types (Concurrent Operating Times, with Dates and with Event Codes).

To transfer your data, choose Growth Data > Transfer Data > Transfer to New Data Type or click the icon on the Main page of the control panel.

You can choose to transfer data between any of the specified data types. A new data sheet with the transferred data will be added to the current folio. In other words, the original data sheet remains unchanged and a new data sheet is created in the same folio.

In addition, the following data sheets give you the option to transfer the data to an equivalent system, which is a single system that represents the combined operating time of all the systems in the data set. Note that this option is available only when the parameters of the data set have been calculated.

• For the Concurrent Operating Times and Multiple Systems with Dates data types, the equivalent system will be transferred into a Failure Times data sheet, which allows you perform gap analysis or link the data set to a mission profile, if desired.
• For the Multiple Systems with Event Codes data type, the equivalent system will be transferred into a Multi-Phase Failure Times data sheet, which allows you to use the Crow Extended - Continuous Evaluation model to analyze the data set.
