Cygnus 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. an SOD file -
Sea of Data file) the resulting text file from the Report Generator will also
be large. Files that are too large for the Windows Notepad should be
opened from within a program such as Excel for viewing. Both .TXT and
.CSV files are able to be opened from within Excel.
Select the Advanced tab to display additional options (see Figure 4-20 ). This page
allows the Controller History and Marks to be included in the report.
Figure 4-20 Generating a Report - Advanced options
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.
