Link Factors in a Data Set

A factor can be linked to another. The factor then takes on the values of that other factor, overwriting the original values.

For example, you might want to link a variable spark with a model for maximum brake torque (MBT) to evaluate a torque model.

To link two factors,

1. Select Data > Links. This opens a dialog box.

2. Select the data set factor that you want to overwrite.

   CAGE generates a list of factors that you could possibly link to the selected factor. (For example, you cannot link to a factor that depends on the selected factor.)

3. Select the factor that you want to link the selected factor with.

4. Click to link the two factors.

   

CAGE then overwrites the data set factor with the link.

To break a link and return to normal evaluation, click .

Once all the links have been created or broken as you want, click OK to exit the dialog box.
