Reports
Schematic wiring and required functionality check.
Schematic reports are generated automatically each time the schematic is checked.
This occurs when any electrical object such as a wire, or any component that contains electrical objects (voltage inputs / outputs, communication ports etc.) is moved or placed.
The schematic / project designer can add requirements to the schematic such as measurements that are required by the project, and also general requirements can be added such as 4G communication etc.
Another example of project requirements might be measurements (wind speed 0-45mph or water depth etc.)
The report will indicate any missing requirements and also indicate if the component that supplies the requirement has any issues.
For example, if wind speed was a measurement requirement and the wind sensor has no power connected, this will show up in the report.
See the example report below for more detail:
Example Report:
Schematic Settings
This report shows that the schematic sheet entries are acting as labels.
Any sheet entry with the same name as a schematic label will be 'connected'. Hovering the mouse over a sheet entry or label point will show the corresponding label(s) or sheet entry in the overlapping / connected points display.
Requirements
There are two requirements:
- 3G Communication
- 3G / 4G WAN IP
The report indicates that 3G Communication is provided for and there are no issues. If there was an issue with the component, the issue(s) would be listed next to the 'Possible Issues' label in red text.
The report also indicates that 3G / 4G WAN IP is required and indicates that no component in the schematic is capable of providing this requirement.
Some requirements ask for information to be provided. For example an APN may need to be supplied for some requirements such as 3G / 4G communication. Some information fields are good to include but not mandatory.

There are also some measurements required by the project. This report indicates that the ATMOS-41 is capable of supplying the measurement, but there is an issue - there is no power wired to the sensor.
The report shows that there are no components that are able to provide the 60m/s wind speed measurement.
These alerts help to ensure the project requirements are met.
Sheets
The next section displays report information for schematic sheets starting with the top-level sheet.
Any other sheets are listed below the top-level sheet. In this case there is a sheet called 'Control Room 1'.
Disconnected Wires
The final section lists any wires that have disconnected start or end points.
Disconnected wire start or end points are not a critical issue, but this just helps tidy the schematic of any unconnected wires.
Save / Print
The report can be saved as a PDF file or printed using the buttons at the bottom of the report dialog.
