LaserLinc has developed a new option for Total Vu™ software: customizable reports from Microsoft Excel templates.

Total Vu users would set up report templates in Microsoft Excel, specifying desired layout features. The user may reference many configuration or data items from Total Vu (e.g. product specifications, statistical values, Total Vu charts, measurement values). Charts may be pre-defined and formatted to be filled in automatically with data captured by Total Vu.

When a report is triggered—for example, at the end of a run or a spool—Total Vu creates a new workbook from the template, fills in cells that reference Total Vu items with the corresponding value, and then saves and/or prints the new workbook.

With this option, users have complete control over the look and content of their reports. They also have the ability to use any Windows-compatible printers, including label printers. And they can use a tool most engineers already know well: Microsoft Excel.

The customizable reports are included with LaserLinc’s Advanced SPC option or sold separately.
