ATEXPORT_POINT_TO_POINT_REPORTS |
Export point-to-point voltage drop reports to Excel |
Ribbon: FireCAD > Export > Export Point-To-Point Reports To Excel
Prerequisites
- A FireCAD project must be open
Overview
Exports one Excel sheet per circuit that walks the circuit in wiring order. Each device row adds that device's current and the wire from the previous device, so you see the voltage at every device and where the drop accumulates. The summary at the top compares the circuit and card current with their limits, and shows the end-of-line voltage against the minimum operating voltage: green when it passes, red when it fails.
Steps
- On the FireCAD Tools tab, open the Export panel and choose Export Point-To-Point Reports To Excel (or type
ATEXPORT_POINT_TO_POINT_REPORTS) - In the Save As window, pick the folder and file name and click Save
- In Report Settings, tick the circuits to include. Unselect All clears the list first
- Click Accept. The workbook opens in Excel with one sheet per circuit
Tips
- Point-to-point reports preserve hierarchical device ordering (wiring path order)
- Voltage drop calculations are cumulative along the circuit path
