3.5.8 Creation of a Text Report
NotePad is required for this operation
It is possible to create a file in text format from a measurement file.
The text file also enables access to the information contained in the measurement file:
- Serial Number and calibration dates of the dosimeter which made the measurements.
- Name of Excel file.
- Sample number.
- Date and time of beginning and end of measurement recording cycle.
- Configuration of the dosimeter during the measurement recording cycle (period and
duration of cycle, reference threshold for the visual alarms and configuration of the audio
and vibrating alarms.
- Measurement details (sample number, date and time of measurement, battery and
temperature levels, field values in V/m, level relative to reference threshold and alarm
configuration at the time of measurement).

Creation of a text file:
- Open the measurement file and select the menu File Ö Report Ö Text Report. The
Windows Save File window opens.
- Choose the name and location of the file in which the measurements are to be saved.
By default the file will be placed in the folder Rapports_Texte in the work folder and will
have the same name as the measurement file (if the name of the loaded measurement file
is « mesure1.bin », the text file created will have the name « mesure1.txt »).
NB :
- Each time Text Report menu is selected, a new Windows Save File window is opened,
even if the .txt file has already been created. Thus several Text files for one measurement
file could possibly be created.
- Once created, it is always possible to access the Text files directly through the NotePad
application. Opening the Text file through Excel displays the information in different
columns.
