Report Editor

Access to the Report Editor is via the Reports Display and is also restricted to those users with Engineer access or higher. The Report Editor collects a set of Tags and options and saves the data in an on-line report display.

The Report Builder offers two report writer programs to choose from:

• One which reads data from the continuous history database, includes actual Tag data points from the selected history class, and generates statistics based upon those points, or
• The other which reads its data from a Unit History File and reports PV and statistics for each Tag by selected balance periods or by time ranges.

Both programs permit individually selecting the Tags that will be included in the report, but the kind of Tag data included in the two types of reports differs.

Continuous history users can request Tag PV data for up to 40 Tags per report from any one continuous history class.

In addition, the minimum and/or maximum value(s), the average, and the standard deviation of Tag values can be included in a statistical summary at the end of the report.

Unit history users can request Tag data for up to 40 Tags per report from any one Unit. Once the Unit is specified, the Tag list option will only display Tags assigned to the selected Unit. Ranges can be specified either by date and time, or by balance periods.
