Type Controls the data type of the variable when printed. Valid only when format is binary (Data/Binary
selected). Takes the following values

I1 - Value is formatted as a one-byte integer. Any fractional part is truncated.

I2 - Data is formatted as a two-byte integer. Any fractional part is truncated.

I4 - Data is formatted as a four-byte integer. Any fractional part is truncated.

I8 and I12 - Data is formatted as 8 or 12-byte error/warning information. Only valid for the
bolt level result variables "Error", "RM Error" and "Warning". See also chapter: Errors and
Warnings.

F - Data is formatted as a four-byte Float (either as IEEE754, Fixed 2I2D, SPECIAL 1 or
SPECIAL 2).

Str - Data is formatted as a string. The setting of Width controls the number of bytes
occupied.
Step
Numbers Specifies for which steps a variable will be printed. Only valid and visible for Step data variables.
Enter the step number of the step(s) for which the variables should be included. Leaving the value
blank will print the variable for all steps.
Note! Selecting a variable in the reporter will cause the variable to be included in the result. However, this
does not automatically mean that the variable will be measured . Most of the variables correspond to
values measured by bolt monitoring and step checks. Whether these checks are performed or not is
controlled by the Tightening program being executed. See Bolt Monitoring and Step
– Check for
how to set up these.
3.7.4.2 Layout of Cycle Data
The controls grouped under Cycle Data Layout specify how the cycle data results should be presented.
The variables that can be included in the result are divided in three sections, Station data , Bolt data and
Step data . Station data variables are reported once for each cycle, Bolt Data variables once for each bolt
and Step data variables for each step in the program.
Normally the result is always laid out in a hierarchically manner, with the Station data at the top and the
Step data at the bottom, as below:
Station data
Bolt data for bolt 1
Step data for bolt 1, step 1
Step data for bolt 1, step 2
:
Step data for bolt 1, step n
Bolt data for bolt 2
Step data for bolt 2, step 1
Step data for bolt 2, step 2
:
Step data for bolt 2, step n
:
Variables that do not have a valid value, for example due to that the check that produces the value is not
executed or data from disconnected bolts, are said to have the value NOT_DEFINED. These are printed
