1.12 Using the Report Template Function (/MT option)
You can create report templates and use them to automatically create custom report files.
Load a report template file that you have created into the GX/GP internal memory. The GX/
GP will automatically create report files using the report template file.
A report template file can be used to create report files in Excel format, create report files in
PDF format, and print reports on a printer connected over the LAN.
The GX/GP can handle template files that are 1 MB or smaller.

the appropriate report files.

example, if the GX/GP is not configured to create daily reports, you will
not be able to use a report template to create daily reports. However,
regardless of this setting, you can output the data of all data types (average,
maximum, minimum, sum, and instantaneous).
