Preparing and printing a report

Preparing a report for a CPTU file is very easy. A full report contains pages with plots and tabular data for every calculation step, starting from in-situ measurements to settlements analysis. You may select the various sections of a report simply by clicking on the Reports menu and selecting the Report settings command. You may also click directly on the clip0029 button which is located in the main toolbar. The following dialog will appear:

Check or uncheck sections that you wish to be included or excluded from the report and click on the OK button to commit the changes.

You can create reports for a single CPTU file or an overall report for all selected (checked) files in the current working project. To preview the report only for the selected CPTU file click on the Reports menu and select the Single CPT report command. Alternatively you may click on the clip0033 button located on the File manager toolbar. To preview the report for all selected CPTU files click on the Reports menu and select the Overall selected CPT report command. Alternatively you may click on the clip0034 button located on the File manager toolbar. The following dialog will appear:

You have the option to crate a report using the colors used in the software or create plots using a grayscale mode which is very helpful when you must photocopy the report. Unchecking the include all data points will force the software to omit CPT points that do not meet the limitation depth criterion.

To proceed and create the report click on the OK button and a dialog will appear with the preview of the report that includes all sections that where selected.

All reports are designed to fit to an A4 page. If you wish to print the report on a different page without loosing any information, you may use the Scale feature (located inside the Print mode area) as shown below (i.e. need to print the report in a Letter size):
