The software stores log files and an event log in an encrypted GEF file format. This ensures
that source files cannot be altered without detection and are suitable for validation and
archiving purposes.
Four reports can be produced from the encrypted log file using the
Report page:
•
PDF Detailed Report: Includes a graph of the actual and set temperatures, a profile
summary section, a notes box for handwritten information and a quality control box
which gives a detailed analysis of each profile segment.
•
PDF Standard Report: As the PDF Detailed Report except with no quality control
analysis box.
•
TSV Detailed Report: Includes a profile summary section and a quality control box
which gives a detailed analysis of each profile segment. Suitable for a program
capable of displaying TSV (Tab Separated Variable) data such as Excel.
•
TSV Standard Report: As the TSV Detailed Report except with no quality control
analysis box.
