  2. QC-CALC Real-Time will reload your part file

NOTE: If you remove or reorder the characteristics in your part file, then you MUST do the same in the part program in your inspection software. If you do not do this, the next time you run your program you will get new characteristics in the part file with duplicate labels because QC-CALC Real-Time matches up the incoming characteristics based on their order, not based on the labels.
