Using the Accumulator Variable in Reports

To use the Accumulator variable in reports, proceed as follows:

1.

Select the Reports view.

2.

Create a new report or select an existing one to include the
Accumulator variables for the Accumulator.

3.

Lizard displays the items that are available for the source in
question in the Available list in the Select Variables frame.

The variable used in accumulation is located under the source
name SParServer. Click on the plus sign in the Select Variables
list to display it.

Power Control Option

Power Control is used to control the physical output: either the output
pin on the extension board (for example, digital I/O module) or an
excitation output on the QML logger.

With this option, it is possible to use the same output for several
purposes so that the output pin will be active as long as there is one
reservation left. For example, several sensors can use common
powering without extremely careful synchronization of timing.

The Power Control option is located in the Lizard Devices view.
