A powerful feature of OXYGEN is the Reporting tool. This tool offers the user the possibilities to create reporting pages directly from the measurement screen. This feature can be used in the REC mode as well as in the PLAY mode and in the LIVE mode.
This tool and its functionalities will be explained in the following sections.
Creating a Report¶
To create a report, the user can either
Copy a complete measurement screen to the report with the following steps
Select the desired measurement screen within the screens menu and display it (see Fig. 579)

Reporting cursor¶
The yellow cursor is available on the reporting pages as well. On the measurement screens, the yellow cursor is linked to the instruments on all screens. This is different on report pages. Here, the yellow cursor is only linked to the instruments on the same report page and can therefore be placed on several positions of the data file on different pages:
