Automatically Reporting Measurements
The reporting feature sends measurement data to a PC file or to a printer at scheduled intervals. You
can run reporting all day or for just part of the day. Errors can be reported as they occur and as all
errors are cleared. This section explains how to configure the AVM-510A to generate a report. The
sections that follow explain how to configure a PC or printer to accept reports, and how to schedule a
report.
A report is a printout, either on paper or in an ASCII computer file, of the current measurements. A
report can be generated by any of the following events:
•
It is time for a scheduled report
•
A new error occurs
•
A previously reported error is still an error after a period of time
•
All errors have been cleared (no errors now)
•
The video signal is lost (no sync)
•
The video signal returns
