4. Switch to your database/spreadsheet/table application, select a new line or row and
select Edit: Paste (or Keyboard: Ctrl + V)
If you are pasting into a table, you may need to select the same number of columns as
there are parameters to paste. (To check the number of parameters, paste them into a
word-processor and count the number of Tabs.)
Using different Report configurations
Individual Report layouts are specified in the RPT files (*.rpt). These files are text files
which may be edited in any word processor. A series of scripting commands specify the
size and position of all tables and graphs on a report, as well as all the formatting
parameters (tick-mark spacing, number of tick marks, axis labels, title, etc.). The graphs
on a report are a sub-set of the graphs listed in the Graphs list; they are selected by the
name used in the list. Contact Charnwood Dynamics for details of the scripting
commands.
A single Report configuration file (report.cfg) lists the RPT files to be loaded into
Motion Analysis Database when it starts; these appear in the Reports list.
The definitions of the graphs listed in the Graphs list (from which the report graphs are
selected) are stored in the Report Database PDB file (*.pdb). The last-used database
file is loaded automatically when Motion Analysis Database starts, but a different
database file may be loaded (File: Open Database...) if a different set of graphs is
required.
The graph definitions refer by name to the data types stored in the Codamotion Analysis
MDR files. The names stored in these files depend partly on the Setup file which was
loaded at the time of saving the MDR file. Thus there is a link between the MA Setup files
and the MDB database files.
A typical set of inter-dependent files is, for example:
(‘xx_’ is a prefix applied to a common group of files)
SG_Left.stp
SG_Right.stp
report.cfg
xx_SG01.pdb
xx_SG01A.rpt
xx_SG01B.rpt
xx_XG01.pdb
xx_XG01A.rpt
xx_XG01B.rpt
