TIM Tools 7.5 Administration Guide
TIM-O Report Templates
The TIM-O Report Template is used to summarize data downloaded from the TIM Evaluation Tools. The template is an Excel spreadsheet that is pre-populated with sample data. The sample data is replaced when you load your data download you would like to have summarized. The template contain Visual Basic macros. Please contact us if you have any questions about how to use the templates.
This file is in XLSB format (Microsoft Excel) and contains VBA macros. (Your version of MS Excel may produce an automatic warning when opening files that contain macros. If you see a warning, choose “Enable Macros” to access the full features of the summary workbook.)
Archive of Previous Template Versions
You probably will never need these older templates. Use these archived templates only in the extremely unlikely event that you wish to work with a raw data file that you downloaded years ago using a previous version of TIM Tools.
