Selecting and arranging windows

The Window menu in the ResultsViewer contains the usual commands to close, cascade, tile, and otherwise arrange windows. It also contains a list of windows for all open files, and this list provides direct access to any window.

Printing results data

All Print controls are located under the File menu. The Print Setup option allows selecting a printer, even when no files are open.

Print Results prints a report displaying all the parameters of the Cumulative Data and Analysis pages.

Print History Graphics prints a page showing the same information as is displayed on the active window’s history tab.

Exporting test data to other programs

ResultsViewer can export results data as either ASCII text, primarily intended for documentation, or delimited, formatted ASCII text readable by spreadsheet programs.

Exporting text

To export the test results file as text, click on Export and select Summary (text) to File. This option writes an ASCII file containing exactly the same information as the printed output of the Print Results command. Summary (text) to Clipboard writes the same ASCII text to the Windows clipboard. Summary Text Preview displays the same text in a pop-up window.

Exporting numeric data

Under the Export menu, the Data to File selection writes a file of delimited ASCII data containing information selected by the user; Data to Clipboard writes the same information to the Windows clipboard. Data Preview displays the same text in a pop-up window. The following paragraphs describe the data available, the formats, and the process of configuring a file to contain the desired information.
