The variation manager can be opened in the main menu of SIGMA with

• the button Vary process
• the menu (path: Experiment data > Variation manager)
• a double-click on Variations in the window Project data

With the help of the variation manager the variation assigned to a process can be administrated, i.e. created, opened or deleted.

If variations of the process have already been chosen, these are listed in the window Variations. After clicking on the name of the variation the related details are shown in the window Preview. In addition, the multi graphic for an already existing variation can be directly opened (button Multi graphic…) or the experimental design can be printed (button Print…).

If no variations exist for the process, both windows are empty.
