Printing & Plotting Printing One-Line Diagrams

7.3 Printing One-Line Diagrams One-line diagrams can be printed (in black & white or color) on any printer or plotter supported by your operating system. The zooming scale inside PowerStation (one-line diagram) is independent of the print scale. Note that every one-line diagram, including composite networks and composite motors, has an independent print setup, print options, and print scale. This allows you to set the print zooming scale independently and print each of the one-line diagrams to a different printer or plotter. The Print button always prints the currently active view. You may have several views displayed on your screen; however, only one view can be active at a time. The title bars of the active and inactive windows are displayed in unique colors as specified in your Control Panel - Dialog. To activate a view, simply click on any part of it. Note that unless you have rubber-banded or selected a specific portion of your presentation, your entire one-line diagram or underground raceway system will be printed. To print a one-line diagram: • Go to the File menu • Select Print Preview • Make the desired adjustments • Click on Print A variety of options are available for printing your one-line diagrams and underground raceway systems, some of which are listed here: • Print all or a selected portion of your one-line diagram or underground raceway system • Preview and print only energized elements • OLE objects may be included or excluded in the printed one-line diagram • Print or exclude AC elements, DC elements, and/or AC-DC interface elements • Print in color or black and white • Print annotations such as element IDs and ratings • Print study results as displayed on your screen • Include or eliminate the header and/or footer from the printed one-line diagram or underground

raceway system (the capability to edit header and/or footer information is not currently available) PowerStation includes tools with print functions for convenience, flexibility, and control, which include: • Select any printer or plotter supported by your operating system • Choose any paper size supported by your printer • Select Portrait or Landscape for paper orientation • Preview your diagram before printing • From Print Preview, center your one-line diagram or adjust it with respect to the page as you choose • From Print Preview, zoom in or out of the one-line diagram to increase or decrease the size of the

printed diagram • Batch print your selection of a one-line diagram and/or any composite network or composite motor • Print Preview adjustments are saved so you can easily reprint using your final print layout

Printing & Plotting Text Output Reports

7.5 Text Output Reports PowerStation provides you with the option to view and print the calculation results of your project or study case in a text output report format. To preview and print text reports you can select TextRept and click on the View Output Report icon on any Study Case Toolbar. Text output reports can be viewed by any word processor. Currently, by default, the output reports are viewed by Notepad. The text output reports are 132 characters wide with 66 lines per page. PowerStation text output reports have the following extensions:

cable derating = .cdr • • • • • • • • •

harmonic analysis = .hlr harmonic frequency scan = .fsr harmonic load flow = .hlr load flow = .lfr motor starting = .msr optimal load flow = .opr short-circuit = .shr transient stability = .tsr

Note: DC load flow, DC short-circuit, and battery sizing studies do not have text reports. Use Crystal Reports output report formats for these studies.

7.5.1 View Output Reports Output reports of the calculation programs can be viewed directly from PowerStation. You can view text output reports by clicking on the View Output File button on the Study Case Toolbar. A list of all output files in the project directory is provided. This list includes only the output reports associated with the active study mode. To view any of the listed output reports, select the output report name, select TextRept from the Report Format list box, and then click on the View Output File button from the Study Case Toolbar or on the Study Toolbar.

To view a listing of all output reports that you have generated for a project, click on the List Output Reports button. The List Output Report feature allows you to view output report files sorted by analysis type. Select the output report of your choice for viewing.

Printing & Plotting Text Output Reports

You can also view the text reports by clicking on the Report Manager icon located on the study toolbars and selecting TextRept. You can view the text output reports via word processor applications by several methods, some of which are described here.

Open from PowerStation When you click on the View Output File button, PowerStation uses Notepad by default to view the output report of calculation results. You can change the default viewer in the ETAPS.INI file to the viewer of your preference (see PowerStation INI File). ReportProcessor=Notepad An example of specifying Microsoft Word to view the output reports would be to add the following command to the [AppVariables] section of the ETAPS.INI file: ReportProcessor=“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe” /mpsreport Note that the application path may be different for your computer. The command /mpsreport is used to start the PSReport macro automatically within a Word document (for more information see Microsoft Word Automated Formatting). If you are using the ReportA4 macro, change this command to /mreportA4. Common errors in linking PowerStation to a word processor are as follows: • The Report Processor command is not added to the [AppVariables] section of the ETAPS.INI file. • Type the word processor path accurately, including spaces. For instance, you must add a space

between winword.exe and /mpsreport, and there is a space between Program and Files. • You may be accessing a word processor via a network. Depending on the network configuration, the

linking may or may not be possible.

Open from Word Processor Application Another method of opening an output report is to open the word processor application first, then find and open the output report file you want to view.

Open from File Manager/Explorer You can associate a file name extension with an application so the application starts automatically when you open any file with that extension. To associate an output report file with a word processor application, double-click on the file name in File Manager/Explorer and select an application from the list in the Open With dialog box.

Printing & Plotting Text Output Reports

Format Text Output Reports The output reports are 132 characters wide with 66 lines per page. For the correct formatting and pagination of output reports, you MUST modify the default settings of your word processor application. For Notepad, WordPad, and Microsoft Word applications we recommend the following format parameters: Notepad To print output reports from Notepad on Letter size paper (8.5x11 inches), format the reports as follows:

Choose Select All from the Edit menu • • • • • •

Text Font: Courier or MS LineDraw Text Size: 6 (enter 6 if it is not listed) Page Margins: Top: 1.5"; Bottom: 3.6"; Left: 0.75"; Right: 0.25" Remove header and footer information from the Page Setup Editor. Make sure Word wrap in the Edit menu is not checked.

WordPad To print output reports from WordPad on Letter size paper (8.5x11 inches), format the reports as follows:

Choose Select All from the Edit menu • • • • •

Text Font: Courier New or MS LineDraw Text Size: 7 (enter 7 if it is not listed) Page Margins: Top: 1"; Bottom: 3.1"; Left: 0.25"; Right: 0.25" Go to Options from the View menu. Click on the Word tab, and then click on the No Wrap check box.

Microsoft Word To print output reports from Microsoft Word on Letter size paper (8.5x11 inches), format the reports as follows:

Choose Select All from the Edit menu • • • •

• • • • •

Text Font: Courier or MS LineDraw Text Size: 7 (enter 7 if it is not listed) Page Margins: Top: 0.9; Bottom: 0.85; Left: 0.25; Right: 0.25

• Format: From the Format menu, select the Paragraph option and set the Line Spacing to Exactly, At: 10pt

To print output reports from Microsoft Word on A4 size paper (21x29.7 cm), format the reports as follows:

Choose Select All from the Edit menu Text Font: Courier or MS LineDraw Text Size: 7 (enter 7 if it is not listed) Page Margins: Top: 1.9 cm; Bottom: 1.9 cm, Left: 0.6 cm; Right: 0.6 cm Format: From the Format menu, select the Paragraph option and set the Line Spacing to

Printing & Plotting Text Output Reports

Microsoft Word Automated Formatting You can also automate the format settings by using the macro capabilities of Microsoft Word. PowerStation provides you with PSReport.dot and ReportA4 templates. Each of these templates contains a Macro button, as shown here, which performs the formatting for Letter size paper and European A4 size paper when you click on it. PSReport.dot and ReportA4.dot templates are located in the PowerSTN directory.

There are three steps required to automate Microsoft Word Formatting: 1. Close ETAP PowerStation and other applications 2. Create a link from PowerStation to Microsoft Word 3. Add the formatting macro to the Microsoft Word template

Create a Link from PowerStation to Microsoft Word An example of specifying Microsoft Word to view the output reports would be to add the following command to the [AppVariables] section of the ETAPS.INI file: ReportProcessor=“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe” /mpsreport Note that the application path may be different for your computer.

Add Formatting Macro to Microsoft Word Template When you open a new document in Microsoft Word, the program uses the Normal.dot template format to create the document. Therefore, it is convenient to include the output report formatting macro in your Normal.dot template. To copy this macro from PSReport.dot to Normal.dot, you will need to take the following actions (if you are choosing size A4 paper, replace PSReport.dot with ReportA4.dot in the following instructions): 1. Open Microsoft Word 2. If you are using Word 7.0/97, from the Tools menu select Templates and Add-Ins… For Word

6.0/95, from the File menu select the Templates... option. 3. From the Templates and Add-ins Editor, click on Organizer... 4. From the Macro Project Items page, open the PSReport.dot template and copy the PSReport macro

file to the Normal.dot template. To open PSReport.dot, click on either the Close File or Open File button and locate the PSReport template in the ETAPS/PowerSTN directory.

8. Drag the new toolbar button to the desired location. Note that Microsoft Word link cannot open a document, which is located in a path with a folder name that contains spaces. For example, if the output report is located in C:\ETAPS\PowerSTN\Project Files, you must remove the space between Project and Files in order to open the output report. Common errors in the addition of the macro button are as follows: • Close all other applications that are using the Normal.dot file. For example, your e-mail system may

be using this file and should be closed. • You must have write access to modify Normal.dot. Make sure the Normal.dot file is not a Read-Only

file. • Microsoft Word is installed on a remote location and you are accessing it via a network. Depending

on the network configuration, access to the Normal.dot file may not be possible. In that case, you must install Word in your local drive.

Depending on your Word settings, the program may prompt you to save the added macro to the Normal.dot template. Click on OK to permanently save this macro.

7.6 Crystal Reports In addition to the text output reports, PowerStation allows you to view and print the load flow, short-circuit, motor starting, DC load flow, DC short-circuit, and battery sizing output reports using Crystal Reports formats. Crystal Reports formats for other analysis results will be provided in future releases. These reports can contain varying levels of detail, depending on your study case requirements. The report header is printed on the top of each page of the output report and contains general information about the project, which has been entered into the Project Information Editor. The report header also contains specific information related to the study case. To preview and print Crystal Reports output files, click on the Report Manager icon, included on all study toolbars, then make your selection from the displayed report formats. PowerStation uses the Crystal Reports program to generate output reports. Crystal Reports is a reporting tool with superior capabilities and presentation-quality output. Crystal Reports is a Seagate Software product. For more information go to: http://www.seagatesoftware.com PowerStation provides you with a number of Crystal Reports formats for input data (device schedule), library data, and output reports. However, what makes Crystal Reports so ideal is the fact that you can customize the output reports. You can add or remove fields, change fonts and sizes, include your company information and logo, add plots, export your reports to HTML format so you can publish your reports on the World Wide Web, etc. Note that you must use your copy of Crystal Reports for any modifications.

Output Report Access File After you run a study, PowerStation generates an Access database file that contains data associated with the study case, input, calculation results, and summary tables. Then Crystal Reports uses the data stored in the Access database for producing output reports. Presently, Crystal Reports output reports are provided for load flow, short-circuit, motor starting, DC load flow, DC short-circuit, and battery sizing. The output reports for the remaining analysis modules are now under development and will be provided in future releases. The Access database for output reports has the following extensions and they are located in the same directory as your PowerStation project files: • *.DB1 Battery Sizing Analysis • *.DL1 DC Load Flow Analysis • *.DS1 DC Short-Circuit Analysis • *.GR1 Ground Grid Systems • *.HA1 Harmonic Analysis • *.LF1 Load Flow Analysis • *.MS1 Motor Starting Analysis • *.PN1 Panel Analysis • *.RA1 Reliability Analysis

• *.SA1 Short-Circuit Analysis, ANSI, Device Duty

• *.SA2 Short-Circuit Analysis, ANSI, Unbalanced Faults

• *.SA3 Short-Circuit Analysis, ANSI, 30 Cycle, Balanced

• *.SI1 Short-Circuit Analysis, IEC (909), Device Duty

• *.SI2 Short-Circuit Analysis, IEC, Unbalanced Faults

• *.SI3 Short-Circuit Analysis, IEC (363), Transient

This means that when you run a study such as load flow with the output report name LFresult, PowerStation generates two types of output reports: • LFresult.lfr which is a text output report (textrept) • LFresult.LF1 which is the Access database for Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports Formats Crystal report formats have an extension of .RPT and are located in the ETAPS\Powerstn\Formats directory. Crystal Reports output formats are divided into four categories: Complete, Input, Results, and Summary; therefore, the directory for each study is categorized accordingly. For studies that presently do not include Crystal Reports formats, text report files (TextRept.rpt) are available. Copies of report formats are also added directly to the study folder, which can be viewed from the Study Case toolbar.
