VLA Reports Menu

This menu controls various report generators for listing the schedule. The schedule should be "computed" before generating a report to be check for errors and to be sure that the apparent positions, move times etc. are correct. Any errors or warnings will be displayed. The report generators will invoke a file browser for you to specify where the report is to be written. These reports can be viewed using the "Edit File" editor from the Edit menu.
