1. How Do I Print/Export an Analysis Report from the DataLog?

Once you have generated the analysis report you want, you can print the report or you can export it to Microsoft Word/Excel.

Printing a Report

To print an analysis report, right click on any one of the column header bars and select "Print" at the very bottom. You will notice that, depending on the tab you are on, some of the column header bars will only come up with a menu that allows "Jump to Low Sale" or "Jump to High Sale". If this happens, simply select a different column header bar.

Once you select "Print", another screen will come up with a preview of what the printed report will look like. If you are happy with the report, click on File > Print.

If you are not happy with the look of the report (columns are too wide, cannot read the text, etc.), close out of the Print Preview and start again.

Exporting a Report

If you want to save this report for future use, you can export it to Microsoft Excel, a Text file, or an HTML file. If you save to Excel or a text file, none of the graphs/images will be exported - only the HTML file will save the graphs/images.

Exporting to Microsoft Excel

To export your report to Microsoft Excel, right click on the column header bar and select Export > Excel.

A "Save As" screen will come up asking you where you want to save your new Excel file at. Choose your location, name your file and click on "Save".

To view the file created, run Microsoft Excel and open the file. You can then edit the information in the worksheet.

Exporting to an HTML file

To export your report to an HTML file, right click on the column header bar and select Export > Html.

A "Save As" screen will come up asking you where you want to save your new HTML file at. Choose your location, name your file and click on "Save".

To view the file created, go to the location you saved the file and open it. It will open in an Internet Explorer window.

If you saved the report with the graphs, a folder should have been created in the same location as the HTML file and should be called "File name.Images". Within this folder are individual BMP files of the graphs.

Exporting to a Text file

To export your report to a Text file, right click on the column header bar and select Export > Text.

A "Save As" screen will come up asking you where you want to save your new Text file at. Choose your location, name your file and click on "Save".

To view the file created, go to the location you saved the file and open it.

The file will open using Notepad and will look something like the following image. This is a report of the first tab "Summary" with the graphs.
