All fault report options are generated as single compressed file, with the file
extension .rpt to distinguish it as a report file. In order to access the files
within the report the file extension should be changed to .zip on the service
desktop, or on a separate PC.
The system automatically generates a default filename for the report,
based on the current date, e.g. Report(2009-09-23).
To export a fault report do the following:
1. Insert an external device into the PC and select the Report tab
folder.
2. The external drive will be listed in the first navigation window, this
will typically be E:\. If any previous report files are on the device
they will be listed in the window below the device navigation tree as
.rpt files.
3. To change the file name from the default of Report (date) click in
the Filename field and, using the on-screen keypad, enter a name
for the report. The name would typically be related to the fault, i.e.
‘track fault’ or ‘video error 3’.
4. Select the report type from the four options listed above.
5. If required, enter a description of the report in the Description field.
6. Click on the Export button to generate the report. While the export
is in progress the Export button changes to display Wait... and is
disabled. When the report is successfully exported a temporary
prompt will appear confirming the export.
Some report options, particularly the 1 Minute Movie, may
take up to 10 minutes to create.
7. When complete click the Eject button before removing the external
device.
