LabSuite can produce chart reports featuring the USDA textural triangle. The software offers a single feature for customizing the report: The chart report title, which is a single line of text shown at the top of the report, can be changed by selecting Options > Program Setup and then clicking on USDA Chart Reports underneath Soil Classifcations in the navigation list at the dialog's left side.
- Typically the title reads
USDA Soil ClassificationorSoil Classification Report.)
LabSuite can be set up to automatically export a .PDF version of the USDA chart report whenever the sample's classification changes (i.e., because you've changed the sample's grain size distribution or Atterberg limits data). To do this:
- Begin by turning on the program's automatic chart report exporting option: Select Options > Program Setup then click on Automatic Report Export in the left-side navigation list, and make sure that the Chart report (Adobe .PDF format) option is selected.
- Next, turn on the option to export USDA chart reports (the automatic USDA chart report export is a separate option because most users do not need these reports): Click on USDA Chart Reports underneath Soil Classifcations in the navigation panel, then make sure that the Automatically export USDA chart reports as .PDF files box is checked.
