2. Select the program to use.
NotePad and WordPad are often installed in the directory c:\Program Files\Accessories\ or in
c:\windows\. The actual location of these files or Miorosoft Word varies from computer to
computer.
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.
ValVue substitutes the values of SVI2 parameters into the text file where ever it finds a
parameter name that matches an SVI2 parameter. For example: Tag=$$Tag
ValVue substitutes the actual tag name from the SVI2 in place of the $$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 – 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 SVI Parameters are listed below. You are encouraged to list the report file
(report.rtf) shipped with the application for examples.
