as “blank” (all spaces) when Data is set to Printable. With Data set to Binary all undefined numerical
variables are set to the value –32768 while text variables are set to an empty string, that is “”.
For a description of all variables see chapter: Result variables.
The parameter Type of layout controls how the printed result is formatted. Select one of the following
alternatives:
Standard. This generates a layout where the variables are formatted exactly as specified on the
Variables view (see Adding Cycle Data Variables).
Table. Formats the result as a table, that is, the variables are printed in columns with their
respective prompter texts as column headers.
Standard + Table. This layout is a mix of the previous ones where the station header is formatted
using the "Standard" layout, while bolt and step level result are formatted using the "Table" layout.
Fixed Positions This option gives you the possibility to have each of the variables at a fix position
in the result data. The output is similar to the Standard option with the following exceptions.
First the bolt level result variables are primarily ordered as defined in the variable view and then in
bolt number order. That is, the first bolt level result variable is printed for all bolts, then the second
bolt variable for all bolts.
Note that the bolts are ordered using the internal, ordinal, bolt number and not using the user
defined bolt number. A particular variable is always printed at the same position for a given bolt
regardless if the cycle result contains data for all bolts or only a few. Unused positions are filled
with zeros (0) if binary output selected and spaces if printable output is chosen. Should a cycle
result contain several data for the same bolt the most recently produced data is used.
Secondly, all step level result variables are disabled and cannot be included in the report.
Station level result variables are printed just as for the Standard option and all format options can
be used.
Since several stations in a system can use the same reporter the number of bolts per cycle data
can vary also if all bolts in the station are run. It is therefore possible to configure how many bolts,
or actually bolt positions, that should be used when the bolt result variables are laid out. The
Fixed pos. Layout parameter Report bolts on Advanced CD settings controls this.
This option is only available for the TC based reporters Fieldbus, Printer, API, ID device, Ext.
Comm., and PLC.
Static Offset. This format is similar to the “Standard” format but allows for offset specification of
where bolt and step data should begin. Configurations of offsets are displayed below Cycle Data
Layout when Static Offset is selected.
This format type makes it possible to divide a cycle data result into several blocks with areas i
between where no data is written. Note that the offsets specified are relative to the start address
