Printer Layout
Creating Templates and Worksheets

In addition to the default report templates provided in the Dionex Templates > REPORTS directory, Chromeleon allows you to create your own templates:

Click the icon on the Method toolbar to open the Printer Layout from your currently selected view. Chromeleon automatically opens the report template of the current sequence. Select the Load Report Definition command on the context menu to open a specific report template.

 Note:

If only the default report templates are available in your system, save it under a new name via the Save Report Definition command. Afterward, you can edit the duplicate as follows:

• Enable Layout Mode on the Edit menu to perform manual changes on the report template.

• Select the worksheet you wish to edit, or insert an additional (empty) worksheet via the Insert Sheet command (Edit menu).

• Select Delete Sheet on the Edit menu to delete a superfluous worksheet.

• Select Insert on the context menu to insert chromatograms, tables, diagrams, report variables, or other elements.

 Caution: 

Note that you can place several report tables on a worksheet. The tables, however, must be positioned one below the other, not next to each other!

Each element inserted in this way reserves a specific area on the worksheet. If a report template or a single worksheet serves as a print template, these areas are "filled" with the values or graphics of the current sample. It is also possible to determine whether the printed output includes data and chromatograms of all channels of a sample or only of one channel.

 Note:

In addition to report variables that can be combined to form new functions via the four basic arithmetical operations (plus powers), it is possible to calculate additional functions known from Microsoft Excel. For a list of supported functions, refer to Additional Functions in the Glossary.
