The starting point for the Data Quality (DQ) Sensor is the definition of the Category groups. The Category groups are used to specify the different Measurement Categories.
Note: The category groups are retrieved from an XML file, this file is stored on the Autoline server. If the XML file doesn't exist, it is automatically created when you open the Category Groups Maintenance form. You can find the file in a subdirectory of the systems main directory (../DQSensor/Settings).
