Canary Labs has selected XLReporter from SyTech as the reporting component of the Trend Historian reporter suite, its latest software package
"Our customers will greatly benefit from the addition of XLReporter in the Trend Historian reporter suite.
"It is easy to use, integrates seamlessly with our historian, does not require any programming and is based on the familiar environment of Excel" says Ed Stern, vice president of Canary Labs.
"The addition of XLReporter as a certified reporting solution strengthens our offering to customers that require reporting as a part of their overall automation system".
The Trend Historian reporter suite contains four main components.
It is a combination of a powerful historian to store and manage process data, a charting tool to analyse trend information, a reporting engine that enables background reporting in Microsoft Office Excel and a web tool to manage HTML based reports.
"The selection of XLReporter by Canary Labs is a solid endorsement of the value our products bring to applications that require reporting," stated Peter Kaprielian, president and CTO of SyTech.
Reports are produced from real time process data via any OPC Server and from process archives via the Canary Labs OPC HDA Servers.
The OPC HDA interface provides raw and interpolated samples as well as every available calculation in the OPC HDA specification.
The Trend Historian reporter suite is fully compatible with Microsoft Vista and all other Windows operating systems.
Support for the Office Excel family has been extended to Excel 2007 using the new Office Fluent user interface.
