Template functions
Templates for custom reports are created by the user and stored
in a template file
*.vat . Based on the determination data stored in
the database, the fields in the template are filled automatically
with the corresponding data (text or graphics) as soon as a spe-
cific determination in the
VA DATABASE TABLE or VA DATABASE
EXPLORER
window has been selected.
Templates can be used for creating user defined printouts but
also for a fast browsing of the analysis results. With a suitable
template all important results and curves are shown in an win-
dow. To get more detailed information text or curve subwindows
have to be opened in the
MAIN WINDOW
.
