Getting started

Your first report

Connect a station, design a short flow, and issue one section.

A first run needs a station, a flow, and a configuration. Connect the instruments, or import a file when the curve already exists. Name the measurements, the conditions, and the method. char.io runs the flow, processes the records, and generates the report.

A flow, in order

01Station and settingsA settings snapshot stored with the run
02Measurements and conditionsA flow that can run on that station
03Method and standardA versioned recipe for the extraction

What you issue

The issued report is a new document version. Each value cites its raw record, its conditions, and its method version. A later method produces a new analysis beside it. The issued page stays as it was issued.

A result whose recorded conditions do not match the row stays empty. The missing condition is named on the result.
