Parameter report files
======================


The final kind of output file is a parameter report.  Many of these
take the form of a file that can be imported into a spreadsheet
program.   In the :guilabel:`Edit` menu, you will find a submenu labeled
:guilabel:`Export`, shown below. The various options in that
submenu write out files containing the parameters from the main
window.

   :target: ../_images/export_report.png
   :align: center

   Writing a report on data groups.

The first two options in that submenu write all the parameters to an
Excel file. You can choose to save parameters from all groups or only
the marked groups.

The final option in that submenu exports a file that can be used by
:demeter:`artemis` as an empirical fitting standard.  See the 
:demeter:`artemis` manual for more information.
