Block Diagram Representations of Models

A block diagram in the test plan view represents the hierarchical structure of models. Following is an example of a two-stage test plan block diagram.

Functions Implemented in the Block Diagram

The diagram has functionality for setting up the stages in hierarchical modeling. At present MBC only supports one- and two-stage models.

1. Setting Up Models -- Setting the number of inputs for each stage of the model hierarchy.
2. Setting Up Models -- Setting up the new default models for each stage in the model hierarchy.
3. Designing Experiments --Using the Design Editor.
4. Loading Data from File and New Response Models --
5. Viewing Designs -- Viewing the statistical properties of the collected data.

The selected Model block is highlighted in yellow if a Setup dialog is open; otherwise it is indicated by blocks at the corners. The selected Model block indicates the stage of the model hierarchy that is used by the following functions:

• Set Up Model
• Design Experiment
• View Design Data
• View Model

You can reach these functions via the right-click context menu (on each block) or the menus.
