Generating a Report

Generating a Report

You can generate trace reports directly from your unit in HTML format. By
default, only the information related to the active trace is generated in a
report, but you can also generate all the traces the current file contains
(available in Advanced and Auto modes only). In Template mode, only the
current trace will be generated.

If you want to customize your reports, you can also select the option to
generate them in XML format. The XML file does not contain the graphs,
but contains all of the other information with the appropriate indicator so
that the report generator displays it or not.

The following table shows the various items that can appear on a report,
depending on the test mode (Auto, Advanced or Template) that is selected.
