Clicking on the “Round this data off to the nearest degree” link will pop up a message box confirming the
action (figure 2.24). The rounding only affects imported data. The data in the logged files will still
contain data rounded to one decimal place. Clicking on the “Yes” button will round the data.

File Æ Save / File Æ Save As / Save Button This will save any changes made to a new or existing report. If an existing file was opened, then the
software will automatically save the file without prompting. If a new file was created, then the software
will display a common Windows Save dialog box that will allow the user to save the report to the
“SDSReports” folder. Once the report has been saved to the “SDSReports” folder, the software will
automatically save the file the next time the save command is chosen. Clicking the Save As menu option
will automatically bring up the Save dialog box.
File Æ Export There are three sub-menu options available for the export function:
Export Report to Word
Export Report to RTF
Export Survey Data to CSV
The
Export Report to Word
menu option will export the report to a Word document format, which will
provide more detail than the standard .rtf file format, if that option is desired. When this menu option is
clicked, the software will automatically begin to export the report selected to a word document. Once the
report has been exported, the new document will be displayed.
Note – no save dialog box will be
displayed to the user
. Initially, the report is saved as “temp.doc” to the “C:\Temp” directory. The user
can rename and save this report to any other desired location.
Note – any time this menu option is used,
the resulting report will be saved as “temp.doc”, so any previous report that has not been re-saved will
be lost
. The
Export Report to RTF
menu option will export the report to a rich-text format (RTF). When
this menu option is clicked, the software will display a Windows Save dialog box that will save the .rtf file
to the “SDSReports” folder. The
Export Survey Data to CSV
menu option will export all of the survey
data (as seen on the Data tab) to a comma-separated value format file. When this menu option is
clicked, the software will display a Windows Save dialog box that will save the .csv file to the
“SDSReports” folder.
File Æ Print This menu option is slightly different from the print button. There are four sub-menu options available:
Print Report
Print Survey TC Data
Print Approach TC Data
Print All
