You can create report templates and use them to automatically create custom report
files.

• ReportTemplate
Item Description
Format, extension XML spreadsheet format. The file name extension is .xml (lowercase).
File name You can specify a file name.
Type You need to create different report templates for each report file
type. The different report file types are hourly, daily, weekly, monthly,
hourly + daily, daily + weekly, and daily + monthly.
• Template-BasedReportFile
Item Description
Format, extension XML spreadsheet format. The files can be opened in Excel. The file
name extension is .xml (lowercase).
File name Except for the extension, the file names of these files are the same
as those of report files with .DAR extensions.
For information about file names, see section 1.4, or see section 1.2
in the Advanced Security Function (/AS1) User’s Manual.
Type The reports of each report file type are created using the appropriate
template file.
The number of report files that can be created depends on the report
creation range settings (see section 9.5). For example, when the
report settings are not configured for the creation of daily reports, you
cannot use a template to create daily reports. However, regardless
of the report settings, you can output all the different types of report
computations (average, maximum value, minimum value, sum value,
and instantaneous value.)
• CreatingTemplate-BasedReportFiles
Template-based report files are created (the creation of template-based report files will
hereinafter be referred to as “template conversion”) in the following cases.
AutoSave
When a report file is created (when file division occurs), template conversion is
performed, and the report file is saved to the CF card. Template conversion is also
performed when recording stops (memory stop).
ManualSave(Collectivelystoringunsaveddata)
When you save a report file manually, template conversion is performed on the report
files in the internal memory that have not yet been converted. Converted files are
saved to the external storage medium.
CollectiveStoringofDatathroughKeyOperations
When you execute ALL SAVE or REPORT SAVE, template conversion is performed
on all the report files in the internal memory. Converted files are saved to the external
storage medium.
