The reporter is used to specify what data to collect for a device and the layout of the data when presented
on the device. All devices that should handle process data; Cycle Data, Events and Traces, must have a

To edit a reporter select its name in the Reporter menu, e.g. Reporter – Printer 1... or double click on it in
the system map. This will open the following form:
Specify in the Station field, which specific station you want data from, or All stations if data generated by
all stations should go to the device. Use the Binary/Printable combo box to select if the data should be
formatted as binary or printable output.

be accessible for the device. Use them as follows:
ï‚· Select if OK Cycles should be reported and for certain reporters the color to print them.
ï‚· Select if NOK Cycles should be reported and for certain reporters the color to print them.
ï‚· Select if Events should be included and optionally the color used for printing. More specific
filtering may be defined using the Reporter Preview
