Added Print Reports (report printing is controlled by the "Print Reports" checkbox under the Options/Settings menu choice). When selected, a report will be sent to the default printer after any test has been run.
The reports are generated from one of two template files, report1.dat or report2.dat. The file "report1.dat" will be processed if the test was completed with no errors, the file "report2.dat" will be processed if any errors occurred during testing. These files are template files that you create with any editor. You can embed the following tokens into these files and the report generator will fill the values in at print time:
%d - prints time and date
%v - prints SCSI Vendor data
%p - prints SCSI Product data
%r - prints SCSI Revision data
%s - prints SCSI serial number
%a - prints SCSI Target Address
%c - prints capacity
%n - prints the name of the last test run
%f - prints a form feed
%e - prints test error count
%k - prints sense information
