Generating LNS Reports
You can create a report detailing selected objects in your LonMaker network using the LNS Report
Generator or by generating a LonMaker network report as described in Chapter 9, Exporting and
Importing Networks with XML. The LonMaker network report is typically faster and more flexible.
