Use the Inverse Prediction tab to predict the time when the Y variable will reach a specified value. These times are sometime called pseudo failure times. Figure 6.14 shows the Inverse Prediction tab.

For the GaAs Laser example, enter 10 for the Upper Spec Limit and click Go. A plot is produced showing the estimated times until the units reach a 10% increase in operating current. See Figure 6.15.
