The Scantraq report generator prints documents combining text and graphics.

Report Generator Dialog

Text can be static or calculated; graphs can come from the SQPlot Module, from metafiles (.wmf) and bitmaps (.bmp). Users can select fonts, margins, etc. This provides Scantraq users with tools for delivering repeatable, reliable and traceable QC results.

Customers expecting scribbled results on a Lambda 9 strip-chart will be impressed with laser-printed reports including calculated pass/fail results as well as a clear rendition of the supplier's logo.

Reports can be printed or saved in three formats: binary (can be opened by Scantraq), Adobe PDF, or RTF (can be opened and edited in MS Word).

Report Template

The template describing a report contains text plus format codes like <<italic 0>> and action codes like <<WbText E6>>. Templates can include text created in Scantraq BASIC, or the entire template can be assigned in Scantraq BASIC.

<<picture c:\scantraq\sqlogo.wmf,200>>
<<name arial>><<size 24>><<bold 1>><<italic 1>><<align 1>>
Edgerstoune Optics Quality Control
<<size 20>><<bold 1>><<italic 0>>
<<SQPlot 110,110,8500,7000>>
Average = <<WbText E6>>%, Maximum = <<WBText E7>>%

<<name arial>><<size 24>><<bold 1>><<italic 1>>
This spectrum <<WbText E4>> specifications.

In the above example action code <<WbText E4>> is replaced by the text  "MEETS" in Scantraq Workbook cell E4. Average and maximum values are taken from E6 and E7. The Scantraq logo is a vector graphic (Windows metafile).
