PC-DMIS Blade can output measurement results and data in various formats. The reports and other outputs can be setup in the Reporting tab of the Flavor File dialog box.
Flavor File dialog box - Reporting tab
You can create two main types of reports:
Matrix Report (RPT) - The Matrix report is the standard one-page PC-DMIS Blade report in a tabular spreadsheet form, which provides a look at part deviations. To modify the values of calculations, change options under the Report Options area of the Reporting tab.
CMM Report (CMM) - This option output values in a similar report generated for a PC-DMIS measurement routine after you measure a part on CMM.
Usually, the calculations are grouped by section. You can select to output values of calculations of all sections grouped by calculation type. To do this, mark the By Calc (CMM Report) check box.

XYZ - This option output values in XYZIJK format in text file. Select XYZ Format in the Save Data As area. You can choose to output the type of values from the list. If required, the output in this format can be imported in PC-DMIS.
IGES - This option outputs a standard IGES file of blade measurements. The file should import into all CAD packages.
AS (P&W) Format - This option outputs values in the P&W format (An OEM-specific Airfoil Surface file). The data is filtered to 112 points per section.
CSV Format - This option generates a CSV (comma-delimited text) file as part of the analysis.
BCD Format - This option output values in the Ball Center Data format (an OEM-specific airfoil surface file). The data is not filtered.
Mean Camber Lines - This option outputs an ASCII text file that represents the mean camber line (MCL) of the airfoil, all sections included.
