| Process Variables (tirou0105m000) |  |
| Use this session to define process variables. In the Process Variables (tirou0105m000) details session, you must enter the process variable's name, the unit in which the measurements are made (for example, meters, or kilograms), and how the measurement deviation is expressed: as an absolute value, or as a percentage. Note The process variables can be linked to operations or operation steps, after which the operators on the shop floor can use the variables to check if the production process proceeds well, or to operate and adjust the process.

Fields | Description
Process Variable | A setting or an input value related to a machine, a tool, or to process quality that is relevant to carry out an operation or an operation step. For example, cutting depth, cutting speed, and temperature.
Unit of Measure | Units used to express measurements. The unit can be user-defined or selected from the list of units in Common.
Deviation Expressed In | Use this field to define for a process variable that is linked to an operation or an operation step, how the measurement deviation is expressed. Note You can link process variables to an operation or an operation step, in the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) session.
