This tutorial goes through the steps required to create a new
Template that will ultimately populate an Excel

spreadsheet with
thickness measurements and user field data that has been logged
on the Cygnus 3 gauge. This will introduce the concepts behind
the template system so you can go on to create your own
templates.
Create the Excel
®
Spreadsheet
Consider we are a surveying company and have an Excel
®
spreadsheet where we need to record 8 thickness measurement
values for a water tank along with additional information for: date
of survey, name of surveyor, location of tank and the tank size.
The spreadsheet could look like fig. 11.1.
Fig. 11.1. The Exce

Template (.XLT) file
as shown in fig. 11.2. Note “Save as type” is set to Template
