9.1.3 Closing the Split-screen<br />

When the split-screen is no longer needed it can be closed by<br />

double clicking on the bar between the scroll bar and splitscreen<br />

(shown right).<br />

9.2 Reports (Setup Sheet)<br />

Once a nest is post processed there is quite a bit of information pertaining to the<br />

nest(s) that needs to be transferred to the operator. NC Express creates a few<br />

different reports after post processing. The following covers each type of report that<br />

is created (reports can be found at File menu | Open – Document).<br />

9.2.1 Nest Report<br />

Displays sheet information as well as part quantities throughout the nests. The<br />

material type and thickness is shown as well as the sheet sizes for each plate.<br />

9.2.2 Job Sheet<br />

The job sheet could be used as a setup sheet if simple text was desired. When the<br />

job sheet is opened within NC Express the information within is related to only the<br />

nest that is currently being viewed. NC file name, run time, material type and<br />

thickness, sheet size, part info, clamp locations, and tool information makes up the<br />

job sheet.<br />

9.2.3 Report<br />

The report can be opened automatically or <strong>manual</strong>ly within NC Express. If the<br />

option is chosen within the Options dialog to ‘Open report automatically after<br />

postprocessor’ then the report will be opened automatically. If a report needs to be<br />

opened at a later date then the <strong>user</strong> can go to File menu | Open – Document and<br />

select report. Opening the report allows the ability to select each report type to<br />

view which would be ideal to use or can also be used for a one time use as well.<br />

9.2.3.1 Selecting a Report Type<br />

From the drop down any report can be selected that is available within NC<br />

Express. There are many reports that can be generated from the system to give<br />

specific information. (All reports within the system are stored within [Drive<br />

Letter]:\fms\ncexpress\report directory)<br />

9.2.3.2 Saving a Report<br />

On the top of the report dialog there is the option to Save the report as either<br />

PDF or HTML. Click on either one and then choose the location to save the<br />

file type.<br />
