Concise Report Format

The Concise Report format is an efficient and condensed printed report of you inspection reports. This report format print all standard essential inspection steps such as measured and constructed features eliminating program steps that deliver no final values such as stylus and changes, PCS components to name two.

The printout is designed to reduce paper usage by printing feature attributes up to 3 wide in a single row. This means a 2D Circle uses just one line printed space.
