If you create a new template, simply copy it to the appropriate folder.. - ***`DataCard`***This folder contains templates for the ***`Data Card`***, a small piece of paper with the current sensor data that can be attached to the sensor. - ***`MultipleAxes`*** Templates for multi-axis sensors, if all axes are to be displayed on one certificate. - ***`SingleAxis`*** Templates for sensors with only one axis, or if only one axis is to be displayed for multi-axis sensors. - ***`Trend`*** Templates for the sensor history ## Placeholders Placeholders are used to transfer information to the templates. Placeholders are delimited by square brackets [PLACEHOLDER]; in the simplest case, the text consists of two parts separated by a period. **`[FirstPart.SecondPart]`** The following keywords can be included in the placeholders. - CALIBRATOR Everything related to the calibrator. - DESCRIPTION Description of the calibrator - IMAGE Logo of the calibrator manufacturer - MANUFACTURERManufacturer - NAME Name - SERIALNUMBER Serialnumber - TYPE Calibrator typ (SIM or 9110D) - Token of the user-defined field If user-defined fields are used in the calibrator, these can be accessed via the token. - CUSTOMER Everything related to the customer. - NAME Name of the customer - DESCRIPTIONDescription in customers - IMAGE Logo of the customer - CONTACTDEPARTMENT Department of the contact person - CONTACTEMAIL Email of the contact person - CONTACTNAME Name of the contact person - CONTACTPHONE Telephone number of the contact person - Token of the user-defined field If user-defined fields are used in the customes, these can be accessed via the token. - MANUFACTURER Everything related to the manufacturer. - NAME Name of the manufacturer - DESCRIPTION Description in the manufacturer - IMAGE Logo of the manufacturer - Token of the user-defined field If user-defined fields are used in the manufacturers, these can be accessed via the token. - SENSOR Everything related to the sensor. Some of the keywords come from the axis or sensor type settings. - SERIALNUMBER Serialnumber - MODELNUMMER Sensor type - CALIBRATONDATE Date of latest calibration - NEXTCALIBRATION Date when next calibration is due - OPERATIONTYPE Operation type of the sensor (ICP, VOLTAGE) - REFERENCEFREQUENCY Reference frequency for determining the sensitivity - BIASVOLTAGE Bias voltage if it is an ICP sensor - SENSITIVITYG bzw.SENSITIVITYSI Sensitivity in [mV/g] or in [mV/(m/s^2)] - NOMINALSENSITIVITYG bzw. NOMINALSENSITIVITYSI Nominal sensitivity in [mV/g] or in [mV/(m/s^2)] - TOLERANCELOWER bzw. TOLERANCEUPPER Maximum permitted deviation of the sensitivity from the nominal sensitivity - DESCRIPTION Description of the sensor - TYPEDESCRIPTION Description of the sensor type - IMAGE Image of the sensor - Token of the user-defined field If user-defined fields are used in the sensors, the axes or in the sensor types, these can be accessed via the token. Fields with the same name are searched for in the following order: Axis - Sensor - SensorType - TESTING Everything related to the actual calibration. - AXIS oder AXISNAME Name of the calibrated axis - CHART Graphical representation of the sensitivity deviation as a function of frequency. - DESCRIPTION Description - RESULT Result of the calibration (1 = OK, 0 = not OK) - Token of the user-defined field If user-defined fields are used in the testings, these can be accessed via the token. - USER Everything related to the logged in user. - NAME Name of the user - DESCRIPTION Description of the user - IMAGE Image of the user - Token of the user-defined field If user-defined fields are used in the users, these can be accessed via the token. - Keywords via Plugins (DLL) Plugins can also be used to generate keywords with measured values. These can also be used in placeholders. What this keywords look like depends on the plugin (possibly [DLL.BAROMETRIC PRESSURE]). ### Modification of the placeholders However, replacement texts can also be somewhat more complex. In reports for sensors with several axes, the axis number is appended to the first part of the replacement text with an underscore _. The numbering starts at 1 for the X-axis, 2 for the next axis (normally the Y-axis) and so on. Specifying the axis number only makes sense in “MultipleAxisReports”. If the axis number is missing here, it is assumed that it is the X-axis. **[FirstPart_AxisNo.SecondPart]** [SENSOR_2.SESITIVITYG] --- Sensitivity of the Y-axis using mV/g The second part also enables even finer adjustment of the displayed value. If the keyword is a numerical value, you can add a selector to specify whether the ***`value`***, the ***`unit`*** or both should be used when replacing. [SENSOR.REFERENCEFREQUENCY.VALUE] --- Only the value (100) [SENSOR.REFERENCEFREQUENCY.UNIT] --- Only the unit (Hz) [SENSOR.REFERENCEFREQUENCY] --- Value and unit (100 Hz) ### Parameters Parameters are another way of controlling the behavior of placeholders. Parameters are appended to the second part of the placeholder in round brackets and are separated from each other by semicolons ***`;`***. **[FirstPart.SecondPart(Parameter1; Parameter2; etc.)]** The following parameters are currently defined. - RESOLUTION Is only possible with the placeholder [TESTING.CHART]. It is used to specify the resolution of the screen copy in pixels. The syntax is as follows: Resolution=width**`X`**height [TESTING.CHART(Resolution=800x600)] - SIZE Can only be applied to images and specifies how large the image should be displayed in millimeters. Size=width**`X`**height [SENSOR.IMAGE(Size=50x50)] - TRUE bzw. FALSE If the placeholder contains a Boolean value, a text output can be generated depending on the value. [TESTING.RESULT(True=Everything went well ; False=Unfortunately an error has occurred)] - FORMULA Only useful for keywords that provide a numerical result. This parameter can be used to recalculate the value of the replacement field. The expression Value in the formula is the value that would be displayed without conversion. Common “calculator functions” can be used. When using expressions with brackets, please note that the parameter list is also in brackets. [SENSOR.SENSITIVITYG(Formula=Value/9.81)] - PRECISION Specifies the number of decimal places for numerical results. Is usually used in combination with the Formula parameter.[SENSOR.SENSITIVITYG(Formula=Value/9.81;Precision=3)] - REMOVE Normally, placeholders that are not found are left in the document. In some cases, it may be useful to remove them automatically. This effect can be achieved with ***`Remove=1`***.
