Creating Report Files
You can create a custom 12400 report by creating a text or rich text format file which is laid
out in the format of the desired report. The default template is located in:
 Win7 and 2008 Server: C:\Program Data\Dresser\ValVue\12400\Report.
 WinXP and 2003 Server: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Dresser\ValVue\12400\Report.
ValVue 12400 substitutes the values of 12400 parameters into the text file where ever it
finds a parameter name that matches an 12400 parameter. For example:
Tag = $$Tag
ValVue 12400 substitutes the actual tag name from the 12400 in place of the $$Tag in the
report.
Any text can be used in a .txt file and printed with NotePad. With WordPad or Microsoft
Word, the user can use an .rtf format file which can contain special formatting (fonts, sizes,
tabs, etc.) and can contain bitmaps. Some .rtf formatting is accepted in Word which is not
available in WordPad - you should check the documentation of these program to determine
what options are available (e.g. right align tabs is allowed in Word but not in WordPad).
HTML files are also allowed and can be displayed with a browser.
The allowed 12400 parameters are listed below. You are encouraged to list the report file
(report.rtf) shipped with the application for examples.
