Complete the following steps to specify the number of runs for your Taguchi design. You can
also add a signal factor, if you have a dynamic response.

For more information on static and dynamic designs, go to Taguchi designs. For more
information on factors, go to Factors in Taguchi designs.

1. Select the number of runs for your Taguchi design. For example, if you have a 3-level
design with 4 factors, you can choose one of the following designs.
An L9 design has 9 runs. 34 means 4 factors at 3 levels.
An L27 design has 27 runs. 34 means 4 factors at 3 levels.
A mixed-level design is more complicated. For a mixed-level design, you must specify
both the number of factor levels and the number of experimental runs. For example, if
you have a mixed-level design with 2 factors, you can choose one of the following
designs.
An L8 design, which has 8 runs, with one 4-level factor (41) and one 2-level factor
(21).

An L16 design, which has 16 runs, with one 8-level factor (81) and one 2-level
factor (21).

An L18 design, which has 18 runs, with one 2-level factor (21) and one 3-level
factor (31).

An L18 design, which has 18 runs, with one 6-level factor (61) and one 3-level
factor (31).

2. (Optional) Select Add a signal factor for dynamic characteristics, if you want to add a
signal factor for a dynamic response. If you add a signal factor, you must click Factors
to specify the signal factor name and level values.
