Powered by the Vision interface and still based on the use of templates, the NVGate reporting toolset focuses on intuitive transfer of analyzer<nowiki>’</nowiki>s data, leaving to MSOffice the page setup and extra content. | |||

====Introduction==== | |||
=====Objectives:===== | |||
In this tutorial, we will show the basic operations to do a report. | |||
Through the different steps of a typical procedure, the useful functions will be described. The report functions are based on the drag and drop of items. | |||
=====Equipment===== | |||
* OR3X Analyzer | |||
* PC with NVGate | |||
* Ethernet link | |||
* Microsoft Word/Excel | |||
* 1 signal | |||
You can create a report in On-line mode or in Office mode. | |||
====Procedure==== | |||
=====Active file===== | |||
First you need to open a new or existing Word/Excel document. | |||
In NVGate, go in the Report tab, in the Active File group. | |||

<br> | |||
Move the mouse over the combo-box. Automatically, the software will check the opened file on the computer and fill up the list. It is then possible to select the working template.<br> | |||
[[Image:Usersmanual_180.png|framed|none]] | |||
In order to work in the best conditions, position the both windows (NVGate window and Word document) side by side. | |||
NVGate items are identified by a tag in the template. The tags are editable in Excel cells, hidden text in Word (apply the | |||
[[Image:Usersmanual_181.png|framed|none]] | |||
mode to see the tags). | |||

[[Image:Usersmanual_182.png|framed|none]] | |||
mode while doing the report to avoid any drag and drop inside a tag. | |||
=====Deposit NVGate items===== | |||
The reporting operations are based on the use of Drag & Drop; Select an item from NVGate and drop it into the template. The software will add a TAG in the target file and then update it with the corresponding NVGate data. | |||
To add a graphical result(s) into a Word document, click on the corresponding window area (grey area), then drag & drop it at the chosen location in the template: | |||

While selecting an OROS Item for reporting, an icon is displayed on the cursor to confirm: | |||
* this item is droppable in the report, | |||
* the used format (drop style) in the report | |||

Obviously, any text, image, table, link can be used in the template to enrich the report with results interpretation, corporate data, and others. | |||
We can, for example, create a table in the Word document in order to insert the sensors identification. | |||

In addition to the actual measurement setup and result data, a measurement must be identified and detailed by meta-data (project name, measurement name, date, comments and properties.). The References group provides such information to be inserted in the report. | |||
Drag and drop these items directly from the group. | |||
Select More to see the whole set of properties | |||
=====Example of template:===== | |||
In the first lines, the Project name and date were inserted. Then a table with all sensors specifications was added. | |||
A drag and drop of the time signal was done. After post-analyzing the time signal, a FFT spectrum was displayed in NVGate and finally dragged and dropped in the template with some FFT settings (frequency range, resolution and number of lines). | |||

You can also put markers on graphs and display the Marker table by drag and drop from the infotrace. | |||

=====Data format===== | |||
In the Drop Style group, you can define the format of the data in the report file. Indeed, analysis results can be exported as data or graph as well as a setting format includes its name or units. | |||

'''Note''': advise not to use the '''Active Trace''' or '''All Traces''' for narrow band spectra within Word documents. It leads to a long process into Word. | |||
=====Refresh===== | |||
The refresh function is used to update the file. | |||
You can resize the graph in the report. Even if the graph seems to be distorted, this is easily solved with the Refresh function. | |||
