This menu option is slightly different from the print button. There are five sub-menu options available:
Print Report
Print Survey TC Data
Print Approach TC Data
Print All
Print Multiple Surveys
The Print Report menu option will allow the user to print out a copy of the .SDSReport file. The user will have to select the printer to print the report (Figure 80 - Print prompt screen).

The Print Survey TC Data menu option will print out a copy of the TC data (as seen on the Data tab). The user will have the option to configure the page settings and select a printer to print to (Figure 81 - Page Setup screen).
The Print Approach TC Data menu option will allow the user to just print the approach data in a tabular format. The Print All menu option will print all of the options – Report, Survey TC Data, Approach TC Data – at once. The user will be able to select the printer (Figure 80 - Print prompt screen). All three options will be printed as separate reports.
Print Multiple Surveys
The SDS Reporter software will support the ability to print multiple setpoint survey reports. Note – The software does not support multiple setpoint surveys. The multiple setpoint survey report screen can be accessed by the File " Print " Print Multiple Surveys menu option. Note – When the screen is first displayed, the main SDS Reporter screen will be closed and any unsaved data will be lost. Any unsaved data will need to be saved before printing the multiple setpoint survey report.
Figure 82 - Print Multiple Setpoint Survey screen
The Print Multiple Setpoint Survey screen will allow the user to select a report template that utilizes the multiple setpoint survey tags (described below) and up to 5 survey files (.SDSReport).
The search buttons - 
- next to each field will allow the user to select the specific report template or survey file for the report.
Once the report template and survey files have been selected, the user will be able to export the report to Word by clicking on the Export to Word button.
In order to view the multiple setpoints on a survey, the user will need to use the {n} tag, where n is the survey number from the Print Multiple Setpoint Survey screen (File à Print ). What the {n} tag does is tell the report to use the nth survey information for all of the following tags until another {n} tag is found. Using the displayed screen as an example, the following could be an excerpt from the template file:
{1} Survey #1 Duration: <SDS:DUR>
{2} Survey #2 Duration: <SDS:DUR>
{3} Survey #3 Duration: <SDS:DUR>
Setpoint: <SDS:SP>
Max TC Value: #mtcv#
{4} Survey #4 Duration: <SDS:DUR>
This survey would display the durations for each of the survey files, and it would also display the survey setpoint and max T/C value for survey #3. Notice that the normal data tags are still used. The new tag only tells the software which survey to pull data from. Note – For single survey reports, the report template file does not need to be updated. If no {n} tag is used, the software will default to the first survey file. On the actual report the {n} tag is invisible.
When the Print Multiple Setpoint Survey screen is closed down, the main SDS Reporter screen will re-open.
