GGU-SIEVE: "Print 'simple' output table" menu item

A result table containing the results of all current tests can be printed or saved in a file (e.g. for further editing in a word processing application ). Output consists of a type of laboratory protocol of all sieve and hydrometer analyses, as entered in the menu item "Edit/Grain size distribution". By going to the menu item "Graphics preferences/View output table" you can view and print the laboratory output table for individual tests in the shape of a submission quality output sheet.

After going to this menu item, you can decide whether the special data (e.g. the diameter of certain percentage passages, derived quantities such as k or the coefficient of curvature, grain fraction percentages, etc.) are also printed.

You will then see the following dialog box for specifying output preferences.

• "Output preferences" group box
  Using the "Edit" button the current output preferences can be changed or a different printer selected. Using the "Save" button, all preferences from this dialog box can be saved to a file in order to have them available for a later session. If you select "GGU-SIEVE.drk" as file name and save the file in the program folder (default), the file will be automatically loaded the next time you start the program.
  Using the "Page format" button you can define, amongst other things, the size of the left margin and the number of lines per page. The "Header/footer" button allows you to enter a header and footer text for each page. If the "#" symbol appears within the text, the current page number will be entered during printing (e.g. "Page #"). The text size is given in "Pts". You can also change between "Portrait" and "Landscape" formats.

• "Print pages" group box
  If you do not wish pagination to begin with "1" you can add an offset number to the check box. This offset will be added to the current page number. The output range is defined using "From page no." "to page no.".

• "Output to:" group box
  Start direct log output by clicking the "Printer" button. Start output to an ".erg" result file by pressing the "File" button. The file name can then be selected from or entered into the box. If the "Window" button is selected the results are sent to a new window and can be edited there at will. Using this window's menu the edited logs can be saved to a ".txt" text file or printed or an existing text file be opened.
