# Process Window Index - Formula

Formula

The Process Window Index is calculated as the worst case (i.e. highest number) in the set of thermal profile data. For each profile statistic the percentage used of the respective process window is calculated, and the worst case (i.e. highest percentage) is the PWI.

For example, a thermal profile with three thermocouples, with four profile statistics logged for each thermocouple, would have a set of twelve statistics for that thermal profile. In this case, the PWI would be the highest value among the twelve percentages of the respective process windows.

The formula to calculate PWI is:

$text{PWI} = 100 times max_{i=1dots N atop j=1dots M} left{left| frac{text{measured value}_{} - text{average limits}_{}} {text{range}_{}/2} right|right}$

where:

i = 1 to N (number of thermocouples)
j = 1 to M (number of statistics per thermocouple)
measured value = the th statistic's measured value
average limits = the average of the high and low (specified) limits of the th statistic
range = the high limit minus the low limit of the th statistic

### Famous quotes containing the word formula:

Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all. But this was more than an observation, it was an experience, it was positively the formula of his life and his fame, the key to his work.
Thomas Mann (18751955)

The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.
Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.”
Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
