ANALYZE
USING
NSR
NonStop SPAM Reporter application
The purpose of the Calendar is to provide the users a graphical display for the data available. The
dropdown lists are for specific date and time queries. ‘From’ is always a starting point in chronological
order through the ending point. For a range with continuous dates it is a representation of what is
selectable. The Calendar for ‘Thru’ is always a graphical display of the final point.
For example a collection can be scheduled for three consecutive days:
Starting “From” 11/15/2013 at 12:00 pm “Through” 11/18/2013 up to 12:00 pm, for an interval of 12
hours and the user can query any subset within the loaded measurement’s time range. Times all have a
military time format.
NOTE: The date range selected has to be at least twice the interval time. In this case the user can
select a range for every 24 hours (twice the interval time). i.e. ‘From’ 11/15/2013 at 12:00 pm
‘Through’ 11/16/2013 12:00 pm.

user is then prompted to specify the location where the reports are to be saved. Upon clicking
‘Generate’, a window detailing the progress of report generation comes up that shows how long it took
for each report to be generated, if there were any errors generating a report, etc.
NSR will display only reports and charts for which required entity records are available. It will also
enable parameter values, to be changed (if desired), if selected report or charts uses the parameter in its
