Resolution
CyberStation provides a graphical suite of features, called Reports, that allows you to gather, view, compare, and distribute point-object data values, locally or remotely, manually or automatically, from virtually anywhere in your Continuum system.
Using CyberStation Reports, you may collect and filter data from a multiple number of dynamic building-control data sources (including extended logs) then instantly display this data in graphical bar charts, pie charts, trend charts, or columned text charts. With reports, you can:
• Display report data using one of several data formats
• Display two or more reports simultaneously
• Modify report configurations on the fly while viewing them
• Schedule reports to run automatically at a specified time
• Save a report to a file, manually and/or automatically
• Email a report, manually and/or automatically
• Print a report
