3 Create Reports
BXO Log can generate different kinds of report and statistics. Below you can see an
example of how to create a list of alarms, but the other reports are created in a
similar way.

want to create, from the menu Reports. A
window will appear, allowing you to
specify criteria for the report (see below).
To see all alarms during the past month,
all you need to do is click OK.
Only show alarms between
100 and 200. N.B. just
leave empty to show all!
Only show alarms that
occured during a certain
period of time.
Specify here if you only
want to see alarms from a
certain time of day (e.g
night).
Choose here whether you
want to see all alarm types
or just one specific type.
