EZReporter 4.0 Standard Edition

Overview

The EZReporter 4.0 Standard Edition can process calibrated peak results automatically from any supported chromatography data system.  It allows for flexible reporting and exporting, parameter alarms, and history/trend plotting among other capabilities.

• Multi-Channel Reporting: Results from multiple detector channels can be combined into a single report with both raw and normalized amounts (normalized across all channels) displayed.
• Custom Calculations:  You can create custom formulas using GC component results and other results.  The results of the custom calculations can be displayed on the printed report, monitored, trend plotted, and exported to text files.
• Easily Update the Component List: The list of components to process and report is completely customizable. Components can be added to or deleted from the component list. Natural Gas Analysis/Liquids calculation constants can be loaded from standard data sources or entered manually.
• Data Export: Results can be exported to a text file for transfer to a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), Process Control System, or Microsoft Excel. The format of the text file can be customized easily using EZReporter’s flexible Export Templates.
• Custom Sample Information:  You can create custom sample information fields to include in the printed report, exported results, and data files.
• Monitor Important Results: You can monitor important results and assign high/low visual alarms to notify you when those results exceed the limits.
• Trend/History Plots:  You can create trend plots of important results to see how they change with time.

The EZReporter software includes a flexible text export feature that allows you to create custom text files in almost any format you might need.  You can create tab-delimited or comma-delimited text files formatted for LIMS or for flow calculators like Flow-Cal and PGAS and most any other flow calculator or database that can import data from text files.

Export Template

The Export Template defines the format of the text file that will be created when results are exported. The Export Template uses “Export Variables” to determine where to place results from the report in the text file. Export variables are special text strings contained between curly braces. Whenever the export engine encounters an export variable, the variable text is replaced by the actual value of the corresponding result. In the example below, the export variable, {SampleName}, is replaced by the actual sample name from the report. Any text that is not part of an Export Variable is copied to the text file without modification.

The text file created from this template looks like this:

 

You can define important results you want to track as "Monitored Parameters" and apply high/low alarm levels to those results.  Those results are displayed in a separate table with a visual display of alarm status that is updated after each run is processed.
