What is the purpose of the ARM Action Code header field in the Plot Data editor?

back

The ARM Action Codes field (previously named "PRM Data Type" in PRM) identifies special actions you want ARM to perform (for example, AUDPC), or to identify actions that ARM has performed (for example, TS[1]).

Press <F9> in ARM Action Codes entry field to display a list of recognized action codes. Several different entries can be typed for one data column, such as "P L05" to limit data to range of 0 to 100 during data entry, and apply 5% LSD mean separation on a Standard Summary report. Separate each discrete entry using a space.

Examples of ARM Action Codes are:

  • Data Limits - enter a type code recognized by ARM to use in limiting data to a certain range. For example, P = 0 to 100)
  • Automatic Calculations - enter an automatic calculation code such as APC for automatic percent calculation on a summary (APC = Automatic Percent Control).
  • Special Characteristics - mark data as not analyzable (N = non-analyzable) in a summary report.
  • Mean Separations Test - identify a mean separation test to use per data column on a Standard Summary. For example, K05 for Tukey's at 5%.
  • Transformation - identify a special transformation function such as @TTAB[1] to calculated Abbots (percent of check) from treatment means in data column one from. For transformations created from the Transform dialog in ARM, this column identifies the data transformation used to create a calculated data column. For example, TAB[1] if created from Abbott's transformation applied to data column 1, or T2 for user-defined transformation equation number 2.
