==Prerequisites==
In this tutorial, you'll use a Windows Form application to create a button that, when clicked, analyzes a Weibull++ data set and displays the resulting plot. Before you begin, be sure to create a Windows Form Application project, and insert a button and a picturebox control to the form. You can rename the button to "Create Plot," if desired.

==Tutorial: W++/ALTA Plots ==
The following example demonstrates how to use the Synthesis API to create a plot and display it in a Windows application. A discussion of the example follows.
'''VB.NET'''
{{APIPrefix|Imports}} SynthesisAPI
{{APIPrefix|Module}} Module1
    {{APIPrefix|Sub}} Main()
 
  {{APIComment|'Create a Weibull++ data set.}}
    {{APIPrefix|Dim}} WDS {{APIPrefix|As New}} WeibullDataSet
    WDS.AddFailure(16, 1)
    WDS.AddFailure(34, 1)
    WDS.AddFailure(53, 1) 
    WDS.AddFailure(75, 1)
    WDS.AddFailure(93, 1)
    WDS.AddSuspension(120, 5) 
  {{APIComment|'Analyze the data set using the 2-parameter Weibull distribution and}}
  {{APIComment|'the RRX analysis method. Keep all other analysis settings at default.}}
    WDS.AnalysisSettings.Distribution = WeibullSolverDistribution.Weibull
    WDS.AnalysisSettings.Parameters = WeibullSolverNumParameters.MS_2Parameter
    WDS.AnalysisSettings.Analysis = WeibullSolverMethod.RRX
 
  {{APIComment|'Analyze the data set.}}
    WDS.Calculate()
  {{APIComment|'Declare a new WAPlots object.}}
    {{APIPrefix|Dim}} WPlot {{APIPrefix|As New}} WAPlots
  {{APIComment|'Add the analyzed data set to the plot.}}
    WPlot.AddDataset(WDS)
{{APIComment|'Create a probability plot and display it in the picturebox.}}
  PictureBox1.Image =WPlot.CreatePlot(WAPlotType.Probability)
  PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize
 
    {{APIPrefix|End Sub}}
{{APIPrefix|End Module}}
==Discussion==
The [[ALTAStressProfile_Class|ALTAStressProfile]] class represents a time-dependent stress profile. In this example, the stresses are increased in a stepwise fashion. The <code>RepeatCycle</code> property is set to False, indicating that all times after the last segment will use the stress value defined in the last segment.
{{APIComment|'Declare a new stress profile and define its segments.}}
  {{APIPrefix|Dim}} sp {{APIPrefix|As New}} ALTAStressProfile
  sp.AddSegment(200, 125)
  sp.AddSegment(300, 175)
  sp.AddSegment(350, 200)
  sp.AddSegment(375, 250)
  sp.RepeatCycle = False
Next, create an ALTA data set by declaring a new [[ALTADataSet Class|ALTADataSet]] object, and then using the [[ALTADataSet.AddStressProfile|AddStressProfile]] method to associate the stress profile with the object.
{{APIComment|'Declare a new ALTADataSet object.}}
  {{APIPrefix|Dim}} ADS {{APIPrefix|As New}} ALTADataSet
 
{{APIComment|'Assign the stress profile to the data set.}}
  ADS.AddStressProfile(sp)
Use the [[ALTADataSet.AddStressDefinition|AddStressDefinition]] method to define the name, stress transformation and use stress level of the stress profile.
{{APIComment|'The stress profile uses the logarithmic (power LSR) stress transformation}}
{{APIComment|'and has a use stress level &#61; 100.}}
  ADS.AddStressDefinition({{APIString|"Stress1"}}, ALTASolverLSR.Power, 100)
The data set can contain failures, suspensions or interval data. The following example shows how to use the [[ALTADataSet.AddFailure|AddFailure]] method and [[ALTADataSet.AddSuspension|AddSuspension]] method to add the stress profile to the data points.
{{APIComment|'Add the failure times to the data set.}}
  ADS.AddFailure(252, 1, sp)
  ADS.AddFailure(280, 1, sp)
  ADS.AddFailure(320, 1, sp)
  ADS.AddFailure(335, 1, sp)
  ADS.AddFailure(354, 1, sp)
  ADS.AddFailure(361, 1, sp)
  ADS.AddFailure(362, 1, sp)
  ADS.AddFailure(368, 1, sp)
   
{{APIComment|'Add the suspensions to the data set.}}
  ADS.AddSuspension(328, 1, sp) 
  ADS.AddSuspension(375, 3, sp)
The <code>AnalysisSetting</code> property returns an [[ALTAAnalysisOptions Class|ALTAAnalysisOptions]] object, which represents the analysis settings of the data set. In the following example, we use the <code>ModelType</code> and <code>Distribution</code> properties of the object to specify the life-stress relationship and distribution.
{{APIComment|'Use the cumulative damage - Weibull model to analyze the data set.}}
{{APIComment|'Keep all other analysis settings at default.}}
  ADS.AnalysisSettings.ModelType = ALTASolverModel.CumDamage
  ADS.AnalysisSettings.Distribution = ALTASolverDistribution.Weibull
Use the [[ALTADataSet.Calculate|Calculate]] method to analyze the data set. The method returns a message box that shows the estimated parameters of the model, based on the settings specified in the <code>AnalysisSettings</code> property.
{{APIComment|'Analyze the data set.}}
  ADS.Calculate()
The <code>FittedModel</code> property gets a [[CModel Class|cModel]] object that represents the fitted model of the analysis. From the model, you can calculate useful metrics such as reliability, failure rate, mean time, etc. In this example, we use the [[CModel.Time|cModel.Time]] method to calculate for the B1 life.
{{APIComment|'Calculate the B1 life and display the result.}}
  {{APIPrefix|Dim}} r {{APIPrefix|As}} Double
  r = ADS.FittedModel.Time(.99)
  MsgBox({{APIString|"B1 Life: "}} & r)
==Notes==
For analyses that require multiple stress profiles, the number of stress definitions must be equal to the number of stress profiles used in the analysis. For example:
{{APIComment|'Define two stress profiles.}}
  {{APIPrefix|Dim}} SP1 {{APIPrefix|As New}} ALTAStressProfile
  {{APIPrefix|Dim}} SP2 {{APIPrefix|As New}} ALTAStressProfile
{{APIComment|...}}
{{APIComment|'Assign the stress profiles to a data set.}}
  {{APIPrefix|Dim}} ADS {{APIPrefix|As New}} ALTADataSet
  ADS.AddStressProfile(SP1)
  ADS.AddStressProfile(SP2)
{{APIComment|'Define the stress transformations and use stress levels.}}
  ADS.AddStressDefinition({{APIString|"Stress1"}}, ALTASolverLSR.Arrhenius, 100)
  ADS.AddStressDefinition({{APIString|"Stress2"}}, ALTASolverLSR.Power, 4)
You can then use the overloaded methods to add the stress profiles to the data points:
{{APIComment|...}}
{{APIComment|'Add failure times.}}
  ADS.AddFailure(171, 1, SP1, SP2)
  ADS.AddFailure(174, 1, SP1, SP2)
{{APIComment|...}}
