Adding Signal Charts to Reports

This article will provide instructions for inserting a signal chart to reports in Noxturnal versions 4 and up. 

In many cases, users will want to see an overview of a particular signal for the whole night or analysed period in their reports. An example of that is the TCO2 signal. To add signal charts to your reports follow the instructions below:

1. Open Noxturnal (in Admin mode to change the default templates).
2. Navigate to Reports->Manage Reports in the Noxturnal menu bar
3. Select the report template where you want to add the signal graph and select "Edit". If "Edit" is greyed out you do not have access to change that report template. You will need to start Noxturnal in Admin mode to change that template.
4. When you have clicked "Edit" the Report Editor will open up.
5. In the Report Editor you can position the cursor where you want the new signal graph to be located.
6. In the upper right corner of the Report Editor you will see two tabs; "Fields" and "Report Parts".
7. Select the "Report Parts". 
8. 
9. Scroll down in that list until you see the section "Charts and Graphs".
10. In the "Charts and Graphs" section you will see an item called "Signal". You can either double-click that item or drag it to where you want the graph to be located.
11. 
12. You will see the "Signal Chart Placeholder" appear in the report. Now you must tell the signal chart placeholder which signal should be displayed there.
13. Double-click the placeholder to display the Signal Chart Editor
14. 
15. In the dialog that pops up you can configure the input signal which should be displayed, such as TCO2 and make any cosmetic configurations to that as well. Such as colors, scaling, periods, etc.
16. 
17. Press OK in the dialog.
18. Press Save in the lower left corner of the Report Editor
19. You will have made the changes needed and added a signal graph to your report.
