Creating a New Report

1. In EATB GUI, click  New Report.

2. Enter all mandatory information:

   • Path to measurements

     Include a path to your measurements folder or to a specific measurement file. You can also click the + button to add additional paths. For more information about the supported file formats, see Measurement Files .

   • Interpolation grid (in seconds)

     Specify the interpolation grid that should be used during the calculation. EATB needs this information to synchronize signals from different channel groups. For more information, see Calculation Details.

   • Configuration

     To create a report, configurations are needed. Configurations allow you to specify all display objects, i.e., charts and tables, to be visualized.

     Provide at least one path to the configuration via the following fields:

     • Path to config (Matlab)

       Include the path to the configuration files created with the EATB MATLAB API.

     • Path to config (Python)

       Include the path to the configuration created with the EATB Python API.

     • Path to project-config

       If for a project some specific configurations are needed (e.g. system variable, or additional charts), you can add the path to these files.

3. Optionally, you can enter the following information:

   • Path to results

     Enter a path to a storage location for your reports. By default, this location is set to your user directory C:\Users\UserID\.EATB.

   • Employee

     Add a name to your report or select the checkbox to apply the profile information. Consider that this information is shown in the report.

   • Company and project

     Enter company- and project-specific information.

   • Comment

     Enter a comment to add more useful information about your project.

   • Path to metadata

     Include a path to a JSON file (or a directory containing JSON files) that contains your metadata. EATB expects the information as key-value pairs. The maximum permissible file size for a JSON file is 100 kB. The maximum permissible size for all imported JSON files together is 400 kB.

     Alternatively, you can define the path to metadata files in the config_system.m or start.m configuration files with the following syntax:

     rb.settings.pathMetaData =
     {'C:\folder1', 'C:\folder2\metadata.json', 'C:\folder3'};

     To display the metadata in your report, open the finalized report and click .

   • Configuration from database

     Select a configuration that you have created in the Configuration Creator before.

   • Path to DCMs

     Add the path to a DCM file or alternatively to A2L files and HEX files. You can select multiple A2L files and HEX files or define a path to a folder that contains many A2L files and HEX files. Each HEX file must correspond to its A2L file by having the same file name.

   For a quick overview, you can use the demo data. For more information, see Using the Demo Data for a New Report.

4. Optionally, add a customized parameter by clicking Add new attribute.

   A new empty field appears. Enter a parameter and a value. Only parameters are accepted that are listed in EATB Options. The parameter name must exactly match the EATB Options. You can add as many new attributes as you need.

   If you want to delete a customized parameter, delete the key field and the input field. Empty rows will be ignored.

5. To start the evaluation, click Create.

   EATB automatically switches to Report Progress. All entries are validated. For more information, see Checking the Status of the Running Report.
