### Select export format

In the **Report type** section, choose the desired export format: **PDF (chart)**, **PDF (table)**, or **CSV**.\
If you select **PDF-table** or **CSV**, you may optionally reduce the number of measurements by exporting every 5th, 10th, or 20th reading. You can also choose to include information about alarm threshold exceedances by selecting the appropriate option. Click **Next** to confirm your selection.
