XTC/3 Editor Operating Manual
NOTE: The Report Generator creates text files, from data files, in two possible
formats - tab delimited (.TXT) or comma separated variable (.CSV).
When a large quantity of data is collected into one file (e.g. a SOD file) the
resulting text file from the Report Generator will also be large. Files that are
too large for the Windows Notepad can be opened in a program such as
Excel®. Both .TXT and .CSV files can be opened in Excel.
Select the Advanced tab to display additional options (see Figure 4-18 ). This page
allows the Controller History and Marks to be included in the report.

When the desired options are selected, click Save to write the data to the output
file. The files generated are plain text files and can be viewed with any text editor,
such as Notepad, and imported into other programs such as Excel.
The Save button will generate a report for the selected data file(s) but will not close
the Report Generator dialog. This allows for use of the Browse button to select a
different input file and continue generating reports. The OK button will generate a
report for the selected data file(s) and close the Report Generator dialog.
