Definition of Cycles
The Pass / Fail Criteria report allows the User to define a Cycle during the Qualification
study during which captured process data is analyzed. A cycle is a defined period
during the Qualification study. The Validator AVS software allows the User in the Setup
report to define cycles (i.e., Qual Start to Qual End). Cycles can also be added or
modified in the Reporting Tool prior to generation of reports.

In the configuration of the Pass / Fail Report, the User can select which Cycle from the
Qual File to utilize for the analysis.
Once the Cycle is defined, the User can delay the Cycle Pass / Fail evaluation by a
defined number of samples. The number of samples times the sampling rate defines
the delay time. This delay allows the cycle to stabilize or equilibrate prior to evaluation.
The Pass / Fail Report analysis for the cycle consist of two types of calculations:
Statistical calculations and Accumulation calculations. The following sections and
diagram define the time stamps and data used for the calculations.
Statistical Calculations
All values are calculated from the data point values of the defined cycle. As the stop of
the study is also the same timestamp and data for the start of the next cycle, it is NOT
included in the statistical calculations unless it is the Qual End event.
Accumulation Calculations
Accumulation calculations look at the data samples and interval of time between two
samples and accumulate them over the duration of the cycle. Typical calculations
include Lethality, Cycle, and Time above / below Process Temp.
