Keystrokes for selecting data for printing
You can print data for a selected sample or samples from an on-screen
analysis by highlighting the desired sample data and then using the Print
option from the VISCPRO
®
Main Menu.
To select data for a single sample, click on the line of data associated
with the sample on the screen display. To print a sequential range of
samples, highlight the first sample in the range, then hold down the
S key and click on the last sample in the range. To individually
select test data from the on-screen list box for printing, hold down the
C key while clicking on each desired entry.
When all desired data has been selected, click on Print from the Main
menu. Make certain that the Selection radio button
has been selected
from the Print range options. Then click OK to print to the selected
printer.
Exporting analysis data
The data export analyses included with the VISCPRO
®
software provide
a convenient method for outputting sample data to laboratory collection
systems or to an ASCII file.
There are three different data export analyses. For step-by-step instruc-
tions on exporting data from the VISCPRO
®
database, consult the manual
chapter on the specific analysis:
 Error Data Export—Chapter 11 (export of error information)
 Sample Data Export—Chapter 9 (export of sample information)

or Quattro Pro
®
.
These packages provide additional tools for configuration of report data
for such functions as:
