freelance excel reports
I noticed that excel reports have this situation
when i configure one excel report with default values for cycle time, report works fine (see picture excel1)
but when i change this parameter cycle time for example to 20 sec, (see excel2), this report does not work,
i try to close digivis and restart, i download whole station, but it does not work.
suddenly report start again, but when completes 10 registers it stop again,
how is the procedure when i do some changes in configuration of one report?

It seems that in the situation You're describing everything is ok. It simply is the matter of timing and report configuration.
The moment of aquisition end is calculated according to Start time, Cycles and Cycle time. As it is both time and cycle dependant it is easy to get confused. Lets take a look at how the two reports configured in Your examples work:

It is started manualy, but restarts every full hour (as start time is 12:00:00 and restart time is 1h). The full aquisition takes an hour (cycles*cycle time = 60*1m), so when one report ends, second starts. Still, if you start the report manualy at, let say, 12:50:00, it will only get 10 samples and will restart at 13:00:00.

The aquisition time here is only 20 minutes, but restart time is 1 hour! If you start it at 12:00:00 it will get full 20 samples and restart at 13:00:00, but if You start it at 12:10:00, it will only get 10 samples and still restart at 13:00:00. Lastly, if You would like to start aquisition on 12:40:00, it will simply not start until next cycle at 13:00:00.
I attach more examples form documentation.
