Report printing

 
Simple reports can be directly printed from the VibroMetra modules. Each module with report function includes a sample report. It can be used as a basis for your customized report templates.
 

Printing without printer

 
If no printer is at hand you can use PDF printers to save your reports.

Report templates are shown in a tree structure of printable elements. Each of these elements has properties like its position on the page. Three types of report elements are selectable:
