The following is a list of the QC test types and failure flags. The test types are codes for the QC tests used in all reports and in the worksheet. The test type will be displayed on the QC page once QC has been enabled on the Configuration page. The QC failure flags are a subset of the error flags that are used in the ICP Expert software. The order in which all these flags are prioritized is listed on the Error flags page.
