10.8.7 LxGui MS704 Observations Data Entry
Observations of EUT behavior during the test can be entered by the operator in the Observations
tab. This information will be included in the test report. This is a free form text entry field.
10.8.8 LxGui MS704 Reports
Upon completion of a test, it is possible to print a test report. There are two report formats
available. The report format must be set in the Report Setup screen available from the Options,
Test Report Setup… menu in the main LxGui window. This screen also allows entry of any
custom report header and footers.
The simplest form is the direct printer format, which produces a short form report with textual
information only. Select “Output directly to Windows printer.”
A more comprehensive report is available if a copy of MS Word (version 8.0 or higher) is
installed on the PC used to run the LxGui program. When selected, the word report file name
can be assigned a random number or the user can set the program to prompt for a report name
each time a report is generated.
Once the MS704 screen has been opened, the report format selection cannot be changed
without closed the MS704 screen first.
Word reports are saved in the …\LxGui\Reports directory and can be printed from MS Word as
needed. MS704 reports which are assigned a random sequence number by the LxGui will have
a “MS704_XXX_NNNNNN.doc” file name where XXX stands for the selected power group (TAC,
SAV, TVF, SVF or SXF) and NNNNNN is a random sequential number.
In addition to the test reports, the LxGui program creates a tab delimited text file during MS704
execution, which logs the voltage and frequency at the AC source output every second. The file
is called “MS704_Meas_Log.txt” and is saved in the Reports sub directory. This text file may be
opened in Excel for charting or reporting purposes. However, each time a new test is started, the
data in this file will be overwritten.
