Lesson 6: Generating a Report

00:08

To view the report that PowerInspect has been automatically creating in the background, as we measured, navigate to the "Report" tab at the bottom of the graphics area.

00:17

Here, we can see the default heading report parameters that we specified when we first created this document.

00:23

We're still able to customize these by navigating to "Report Parameters" in the Report tab of the ribbon.

00:30

As we scroll down, we can see the measured results for our alignments, our geometric groups, and our surface inspection.

00:38

To the left, we can see the nominal values for the features or surface which was being measured.

00:43

And to the right, we can see the actual measured value.

00:46

PowerInspect also displays deviation from the nominal coordinates, which is color coded against the tolerance values of the document.

00:54

Red represents a point which is above the surface nominal and blue represents a point which is below the surface nominal, while green indicates a point which lies within the tolerance band selected.

01:06

For points which are outside of the tolerance band, the error column indicates how far out of tolerance that point is.

01:13

Reports can be exported as HTML by pressing the "Report" button in the Report tab or printed as a PDF.

01:20

Congratulations.

You have now finished the PowerInspect manual devices' fundamentals class, and this should have given you a basic understanding of the PowerInspect software.
