### About the Gear Report Window

The Gear Report window allows you to analyze and print the various reports that are created for measured gear data from PC-DMIS Gear. The Gear Report window is also installed as part of the PC-DMIS Gear install process. It uses XML code to create reports.

Note: The Gear Report window is based around the Quindos PageViewer application. This means you may find many options or properties that are exposed to view or available for edit in the Gear Report window that don't have anything to do with PC-DMIS Gear. The options related to PC-DMIS Gear are collected in the Output tab of the Settings dialog box (Tools | Settings), and for most uses you should specify desired output options there. The software will then set the appropriate option(s) safely internally in the Gear Report window. For this reason, many Gear Report window options are not covered in this documentation.

To Access the Gear Report Window:

1. Click the Analyze button from the toolbar to access the Analyze dialog box.

2. Fill out the dialog box as needed, and click OK. See "Analyzing a Cylinder Gear" or "Analyzing a Bevel Gear" for information on this dialog box. PC-DMIS Gear displays the Gear Report Window and loads a pre-designed XML file to display information in the display area:

3. For each subsequent time that analysis data is sent from PC-DMIS Gear, new report tabs are added to the Gear Report Window. Current reports from the same gear measurement data are not overwritten.
