Preface
This manual is intended as a home study guide or a 1 to 2-day training class in how to u SuperSMITH Weibull and SuperSMITH Visual software for tho who want more details about the common features of the software. This manual does not include the more elaborated subjects and details offered in PlayTIME for SuperSMITH.
SuperSMITH Weibull (SSW) is a stand-alone menu-driven probability plotting/analysis software program. The program provides for best-practice Weibull analysis including many techniques not available elwhere. SuperSMITH Weibull software is the defacto standard for life data analysis, prediction, and for evaluating variability and uncertainty in practically all industries. Capabilities of SuperSMITH Weibull include Weibull, normal, lognormal, and Gumbel (lower and upper) distributions, and variations of the, as well as likelihood plotting, confidence plotting, design comparison, probabilistic analysis, outlier detection, optimum replacement, failure forecasting, test substantiation planning, accelerated testing, and mixture analysis.
SuperSMITH Visual (SSV) is a general plotting/analysis program with complimentary capability to WinSMITH Weibull. Capabilities of SuperSMITH Visual include general function plotting, transforms, curve fitting, aggregate cumulative hazard (ACH) plotting, and Crow-AMSAA/Duane reliability growth plotting.
SuperSMITH Weibull and Visual software offer more uful options and capabilities than any other current life data analysis program, although it is extremely compact in size. This wide ranging ufulness is due to the many applications in industries including automotive, components, aerospace, medical, electronic, electric power, petrochemical, nuclear, rail transport, dental, material
s analysis and others. The compact program size allows easy transfer/u over networks. This training manual is intended to illustrate most of the frequently ud capability and many of the applications. Hopefully, it is helpful for both novice and expert.
The reference book for all the material herein is The New Weibull Handbook, authored and published by Dr. Robert B. Abernethy. SuperSMITH Weibull and SuperSMITH Visual software are written by Wes Fulton.
You can obtain the latest version of DEMO software for no-charge downloads from Wes Fulton’s website () or from Paul Barringer’s website ().
See Barringer’s website for general introduction to reliability in practice, the latest Problems at /problem.htm, and details from Dr. Abernethy’s library posted as no-charge downloadable files concerning Weibull Analysis.

Software Setup Details-
SuperSMITH Weibull and Visual are two different programs supplied on the same CD and provided as the SuperSMITH software.
Assume the installation CD is placed in the D: drive. Assume the program will be tup into the C:\SMITHW directory (the tup program will make this directory—or you can specify the location of the directory in a dialog box). The programs are 32-bit Windows programs. The 32-bit programs will Windows systems from Windows 95 through Windows VISTA on workstations or rvers. RAM requirements are modest and space required on the hard drive is also modest.
Note to LAN managers: perform the entire tup on the machine you intend to u (do not t it up on one machine and copy the files to another rver). Install the five OCX files on the client machines: COMDLG32.OCX, MSFLXGRD.OCX, PICCLP32.OCX, SPIN32.OCX, and THREED32.OCX.
For each program, run its SETUP.EXE file on the CD provided. From Windows, lect START, lect RUN and enter D:\SETUP.EXE after the path locating SETUP.EXE. Or you can u BROWSE to locate SETUP.EXE on the CD, and then run the SETUP.EXE program. Follow the on-screen instructions given during SETUP.
Starting Instructions: Start the software from the main Windows screen by first lecting START and then PROGRAMS. Then lect and run the appropriate SuperSMITH software program as listed either above the PROGRAMS lection or by first lecting PROGRAMS. You should initially e the opening screen with one button displaying “<Y> Yes I Agree To The Above” and another button displaying “<X> Exit”. Choo “<Y> Yes I Agree To The Above” to accept the usage disclaimers shown and continue to the main screen. The main screen displays all of the options available in the software with icons and menu items for each choice plus a data spreadsheet and a results window.
Usage Instructions / On-line Ur Manual: The u of the software is described in detail in the on-line HELP file ur manual that comes with the software. To access the electronic ur manual, choo the HELP option from the main screen. The New Weibull Handbook© (ISBN 0-9653062-3-2) by Dr. Robert B. Abernethy is the reference manual for the methodology in our Weibull-related software. This handbook is the standard reference ud to describe Weibull technology and is available parately. Server/LAN Operation: Server/LAN u is completely acceptable given that the purchar’s network administration must limit access to one simultaneous ur per purchad copy. The software reads information from the command line (can be different for each ur) to assist LAN operation. Add “ –cXXX” to the comand line to store ur-specific configuration files into path XXX. A
dd “ –tYYY” for temporary file storage location as path YYY. Include a space between entries. Plea e the HELP file in the software for more command line examples. See ction 35 for an example.
