Select the method to use: EMP (Evaluating the Measurement Process) or Gauge R&R. This chapter covers the EMP method. For details about the Gauge R&R method, see the Variability Gauge Charts topic.
Designates the type of chart for showing variation. Select the Range option or the Standard Deviation option.
Note: For the EMP method, the chart dispersion type determines how the statistics in the EMP Results report are calculated. If the Range option is selected, and you have a one factor or a two factor, balanced, crossed model, the statistics in this report are based on ranges. Otherwise, the statistics in this report are based on standard deviations.

To use the Measurement Systems Analysis platform, all response measurements must be in a single response column. Sometimes, responses are recorded in multiple columns, where each row is a level of a design factor and each column is a level of a different design factor. Data that are in this format must be stacked before running the Measurement Systems Analysis platform. See Stack Columns in the Using JMP book.
