Tex source of the sample report

This template shows how to use section, figures, tables, and citations.

• Main tex file of the lab report labreport_template.tex
• Figure files necessary for successful generation, copy them to the same directory where tex file located.
  • figure 1 sr_setup.pdf
  • figure 2 sr_squeezing_vs_detuning.pdf

Run several times the command:

pdflatex labreport_template.pdf

Latex takes care of the page numbering and references to the figures, tables and citations thus several executions are required. This is similar to the execution of the parser, compiler, and linker for compiling languages.

Note

I strongly recommend to learn how to use LaTeX for report writing. While it is not as obvious to use as conventional word processing software, it saves a lot of time taking formating task away from you. Note in above example how listing of the program formatted without any effort from the user.
