This Concepts Guide explains the concepts involved in creating report templates in OpenLAB CDS Report Template Editor.
This guide explains how to use the Report Template Editor (RTE) to build and customize report templates for OpenLAB CDS applications. It covers advanced features like text fields, tables, matrices, images, chromatograms, calibration curves, spectra, and expressions. The guide also explains how to manage report parameters, audit trails, and advanced report features such as document maps and custom assemblies.
The document is intended for template developers and assumes familiarity with basic RTE operations. It provides detailed information on report item configuration, layout, and data handling for generating dynamic reports with specific designs and calculations.
This guide is valid for revision C.01.08 of OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition.
All report templates are based on the Report Definition Language (RDL), which is a standardized XML format provided by Microsoft.
The keys for the ChemStation generator include DAD1UVOnTime, DAD1UVBurnTime, DADVisOnTime, DAD1VisBurnTime, StartPressure, BegPumpPres, StopPressure, EndPumpPres, StartFlow, BegPumpFlow, StopFlow, EndPumpFlow, PumpType, StartLeftTemp, BegLTemp, StopLeftTemp, EndLTemp, StartRightTemp, BegRTemp, StopRightTemp, EndRTemp, AirTemp, InjVolume, ActInjVolume, InjVolumeText, and ActInjVolumeText.
