  • Data Visualization and Analysis: BoxPlot, Correlation, ErrorBar, Histogram, Pareto Chart, Percentile Plot, Run Plot, Significance Testing (between mean values)
  • ​Metrology: Measurement Uncertainty, Type 1 Gage Study, Calibration Report, Instrument Accuracy​
  • Control Charts: XBarR, XBarS...
  • Derived Charts: Normal Distribution, Uniform Distribution...
ChartReporter lets you quickly create a wide variety of full-featured data analysis report types by simply wiring data and a few settings into a ChartReporter Toolkit VI

Novel and useful capabilities of ChartReporter:
  • Report type categories include data visualization and analysis, metrology, control charts and derived charts where parameters instead of data specify the chart.
  • All reports contain one or more charts for data visualization and one or more data tables of report summaries
  • Data can be in the form of Datalog results from a DAQ device, a database query or file data such as from Excel or CSV file.
  • The LabVIEW Database Toolkit is not required. Database queries are performed by ChartReporter software
  • The LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit is not required
  • Microsoft Excel is not required to be installed on the PC
  • Reports can be saved as an Excel workbook or a PDF file
  • The report charts are images instead of Excel Charts thus making for lighter weight report documents since the raw data does not have to be present to create the charts
  • The ChartReporter.exe can be operated as a stand-alone application where data can be loaded by files or a database query. All the report types provided by the LabVIEW Toolkit are also provided in the executable stand-alone applicatio
  • The report tabulated data is returned to the calling VI if further analysis is needed inside the VI
  • All the analysis and presentation work is performed by the ChartReporter.exe. An option to purchase the C# source code project is available so that you can add additional capabilities if desired.
  • ChartReporter has an Autorun capability where multiple chart reports can be run sequentially without user intervention. A Table of Contents work sheet can be automatically created so you can conveniently hyperlink to specific reports. The workbook containing the individual Chart Reports is saved automatically and can be optionally opened when done.
The PDF file below is an example report created using the autorun feature and illustrates multiple report types as indicated in the Table of Contents.
