Installing Delta V Reporter

Hi,

I use Delta V 9.3 and checking through the programs I cannot find any Microsoft office package such as Excel. I need to use DeltaV reporter. How do I get it installed and working without a Delta cd?  .

If I do not have Delta V reporter which other means can I use to get process variable with time stamps and values ( in the past ) from the continuous historian, for a certain variable in a table form?

  Hi,
  
  DeltaV Reporter is available on DVD 1 of the 9.3.x installation DVDs under the folder DV_Extras. If you do not have the DVDs, you can either download them from Guardian or contact your local LBP/Service Provider to get it for you.
  
  This version of the DeltaV Reporter is listed as only compatible with Excel versions up to 2003. It will work with later versions, but it could have instability (I haven't had any problems though).
  
  If you are installing this on a DeltaV workstation, Excel must have been installed before DeltaV was installed. You cannot add Excel after DeltaV is installed or it will cause issues. This warning does not apply to non-DeltaV workstations.
  
  If you cannot get DeltaV Reporter for whatever reason, then I suggest checking out XLReporter from Sytech. It is an extremely powerful tool for extracting data from DeltaV and placing it into reports. It does not require Excel for the DeltaV Reporter tool to function. The sales and support staff at Sytech are extremely helpful.
