Creating Report Files
You can create a custom SVI report by creating a text or rich text format file which is laid out
in the format of the desired report. This snap-on substitutes the value of its parameter into
the text file where ever it finds a parameter name that matches an SVI parameter. For
example:
Tag=$$Tag
The snap-on substitutes the actual tag name from the SVI in place of the $$Tag in the
report.
Any text can be used in a .txt file and printed with NotePad. With WordPad or Microsoft
Word, you 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 – 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).
The allowed SVI Parameters are listed below. List the report file (report.rtf) shipped with the
application for examples.
