Example of simple report

First I will tell you some small things how a report should be written, even if its a simpler report. For a complete example of a technical report go to the following link: http://www.miun.se/upload/8659/TemplateTechnicalReportsMIUN.doc or Swedish version: http://www.miun.se/upload/8659/MallTekniskaRapporterMIUN.doc These two reports are very good, because they also explain what should be in each chapter. In a simpler report the Layout is pretty free but there are certain things that one should follow even in a simpler report. Such as State the main heading, sub-heading and authors name on the front page (the title page) of the report. Course name and e-mail addresses can also be good o have, preferable in the heading (no heading on the front page). Then the names will follow the whole document. The text should be written so that it is readily understandable to another student with similar background. The report should be typed using a word processor and the language should be grammatically correct. The first time an abbreviation (abbr.) is used it is typed within the parenthesis after its explanation, as illustrated in this sentence. All illustration (pictures, characters, diagrams, tables) in the report should be numbered and accompanied by a short text description. In addition to the text the illustration source reference should be stated, if it is not your own. Example:

Figure 1. In ports and out ports on a UART

All illustrations should be linked to the report via a reference in the continuous text. Examples: the UART system is illustrated by the block schedule in Figure 1

Mathematical formulas should be centred, or alternatively indented by approximately a centimetre. They should be numbered, and the number placed to the right.

Pi , j = C

PGi , j i di j ,

(1)

Explain the notation of the formula, ex. C is speed of light in vacuum. In the word processing program Microsoft Word, inserts of equations can be formulated by choosing Insert -> Object, and then Equation Editor. All sources that are used in the source list should be linked to the report through reference in the continuous text, according to the Vancouversystem, which commonly occurs in reports regarding technical matters. If you follow these small things even in a simpler report, you will have a lot easier to write a full report later. Because then you know from the beginning how to do it right, and dont have to go back and correct everything later.

1 Introduction
This is a small very simple template report. I will show a minimum on how it should look. As this is only an example report, the report it self has no meaning. And one can not understand everything, because examples are taken from different reports that had nothing to do with each other. In the introduction, if one will have that in the simple report. One can write about the meaning of the laboratory or why this report is written. What is the goal, why do I do this etc.

First question

If the report is for a laboratory (lab). One can follow the questions from top to down. Preferably with the same numbering. If there are no numbering in the lab-compendium, one must think one more time on how to write the report. So that it becomes easiest for you and the tutor that are to correct the report, its important so that there will not be any misunderstandings. Be sure to answer all the questions.

Second question
(2)

With ohms law (1) I can derive the power P to two different formulas. U2 P = UI = = I 2R R Where P = Power, U = Voltage, R = Resistance, I = Current.

Third question

Some examples of figures, graphs, pictures and sub titles.

4.1 Figure example:

4 cm

Water adding spot 8

Optical sensors

Figure 2. Schematic overview of Leds and Optical sensors in a diaper

Theory behind this is if the diaper is full all the sensors should give approximately the same high value. And in between sensor values should differ from each other. A dry diaper should have low values on all sensors.

4.2 Graph example:

Graph 1. Distance to model plot, Batch 1 to 7

Each batchs distance to the model is shown in Graph 1. Distance to model plot, Batch 1 to 7. Values above DCrit(0.05) (red vertical line) are outside the model. 7

6 Analyses
Here you analyse the result from tests and research.

7 Conclusions
Here you can write freely about your conclusions over the project or laboratory.
