Storing Data Sets and Generating Reports

6.5 Creating a Report Header

Report Headers are attached to data set files at the time the files are stored. After a file is stored, the attached Report
Header may be edited. To create or edit a Report Header:

1. Activate the HEADER Submenu (in the FILES menu).

2. Press to access and set the EDIT function to YES. This allows you to create or edit a Header.
3. Note that the top of the display screen contains a nine-entry report header. The first character of the header is now
highlighted. Use the two knobs and the instrument’s text-entry feature to input or edit the header’s contents (as
shown in Figure 62 on page 139).

Including a Report Header In a Generated Report

You can specify whether the report header is included in a report. To add or remove an active file’s report header from
the outputted report:

1. Activate the HEADER Submenu (in the FILES menu).

2. Press next to the HDR IN REPORT function to set the value to YES. This indicates the header should be
included in the report. Choosing NO omits the header from the report.

6.6 Generating a Report

Any report can be generated and stored on the SD card. The contents of a report are specified by the user. Several
features of the active data file can be omitted from or included in the report as described below. Prior to creating a
report for output, install the SD card.

• Report Header (FILE / HEADER / HDR IN REPORT)

• Memo (FILE / MEMO / MEMO IN REPORT)

• A-Scan (FILE / REPORT / IMAGE IN REPORT)

• Listing of Data-Set Stored Instrument Settings (FILE / REPORT / PARAM IN REPORT)

With the SD card installed and the desired data set active, to store a report you must:

1. Activate the FILENAME Submenu (located in the FILES Menus) and press to set the ACTION Function to
STORE REPORT.
2. Be sure that the SOURCE/DEST Function in the active submenu is set to SD CARD.

3. Press and hold for three seconds to generate a report. Reports can only be stored on the SD card.
Note: The newly created report name automatically becomes the default report name. This default name will
increment by 1 the next time a new report is created (i.e., after the report name “TANKAF” is entered, the next
default report name will be “TANKAF1.”) This feature functions only when the generated report’s destination
is the SD CARD.
