STEP 3 - Browse into the Report Folder

The Report folder contains html files that are report templates that can be modified.

If you are creating your own template, then we recommend that you load one of the templates into a text editor, make the changes, then save it to a new html file for importing into VTube.

Keep in mind that the filename of the html template will be the template name in the report template list. You can use regular names with spaces like "This Is My Report.html". The template name will then show as "This Is My Report" after it is imported.

When NOT to Use Damping

Damping is not helpful if your tube does not have the characteristic shape shown above. If the tube you are measuring does not have short straights that are basically "jogs" or offsets in longer sections of tubes, then you should turn damping off by unchecking the damping check boxes and/or ignoring all damping report data.

Also, do not rely on damping corrections in reports if the blue columns in the bender data setup menu are set to zeros (not actual bender data). The best time to use damping is when short jogs exist, and there is a connection the bender so that you can reset the blue columns to existing (actual) bender data first.
