### About the Gear Report Window

The Gear Report window is also installed as part of the PC-DMIS Gear install process. It uses XML code to create reports. The Gear Report window displays various plots created by PC-DMIS Gear.

Note: The Gear Report window is shared with the Quindos PageViewer application. As a result, you may find that many options or properties exposed to view or available for edit in the Gear Report window have nothing to do with PC-DMIS Gear.
The options related to PC-DMIS Gear are collected on the Output Settings tab in the PC-DMIS Gear Settings dialog box, and for most uses you should specify desired output options in that dialog box. The software will then set the appropriate option(s) in the Gear Report window. For this reason, you may find that many Gear Report window options are not described in this documentation.

Accessing the Gear Report Window

1. Select the Operation | Evaluate Gear… menu option or the Evaluate toolbar icon…

to open the Evaluate Gear dialog box:

2. Fill out the dialog box as needed, and then click OK. See "Evaluating a Cylinder Gear" or "Evaluating 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:

Note: You can also display the Gear Report window by selecting the View | Show Report Window menu option.

3. Each subsequent time that evaluation 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.
