Several Questions

[KayD]

I need to know the following...

1. How to print a graph  (trend) using a start and stop date
2. Do we have to use the Citadel database
3. How to save historical data so different types of reports can be generated and printed
4. How to put the pulse count from the meter into the database and be able to report using a start and stop date

I have asked how to generate and print a report before and was able to accomplish the task but not using historical data.

You need to connect the Hypertrend.graphicN to report.displayN. The display of the hypertrend will be added to the report. If you want to show data during a certain period, you have to adjust the hypertrend manually to the start date.

See the "Logging to the Citadel database" in "Lookout Developer Manual". It describes in detail how to log historical data. For the pot value, it's easy that you only need to check "log to historical database" in its "Datamember configuration".

Besides the report object, you can easily print the trend and some values by directly print the panel. To use panel.print.
