These adjustments can be realized through manipulation of graphical elements on the display or through manipulation of a threshold line, such as threshold line (203). The vertical bars that exceed line (203), like (205), are turned red (not shown) instead of the normal green color (not shown) of the bars (202) that do not exceed line (203). The "Y" axis or vertical axis of the graph (204) represents sensitivity. In one form, for example, sensitivity may relate to grey scale data. The "X" axis (20) represents individual parts in a time sequence with forward time moving in the direction of (206). Two variables were chosen for this graphical display to maximize ease of use but more could be incorporated if the application dictates. The user adjustable parameter settings on this graphical interface are the defects scale (212) and the sensitivity bar (203). Of course, if more adjustable parameters are desired, additional scales could be incorporated into the display or screen, for example. In order to change the sensitivity adjustment (203), the user would click and hold his pointing device on line (203) and drag it up or down depending on which way he wants to go with the sensitivity adjustment. L'invention se rapporte à une interface graphique qui permet de disposer de moyens très simples et intuitifs pour changer un ou plusieurs paramètres d'inspection. L'affichage graphique présente immédiatement ce que le résultat de contrôle ou d'inspection aurait été si le changement effectué avait été en place pendant l'inspection des dernières "N" parties. Ce "retour en arrière" graphique rétrospectif implique une réinspection immédiate facilitant une estimation de ce que seront les résultats d'une inspection future ou du contrôle de traitement si la production future ressemble à la production passée récente. Les résultats de réinspection sont immédiatement présentés avec une combinaison de visualisation permettant une facilité de compréhension et une optimisation de la configuration. La visualisation présente également d'autres données associées et sélectionnées à chaque inspection spécifique pour faciliter le suivi et l'optimisation des processus de production.
