Pyxis MedStation 4000 System Console User Guide
Archiving transactions
The Pyxis MedStation system allows you to archive up to 31 days of transaction
activity data in 24-hour increments. The data is stored in comma-delimited
format, with character fields enclosed in quotes. You can specify both the types of
archive files to create and the transaction fields to archive.
You can configure the console’s archive maintenance to store up to 31 days of
transaction data from which it generates console reports. You can also import
archived data into a spreadsheet, relational database, or other form of third party
software. This allows you to report more than 31 days of data.
The Archive function can create six types of files for each day that is archived:
•
A header file (suffix.HDR)
•
Pocket access transactions (suffix.PYX)
•
User modification transactions (suffix.UTX)
•
Resolved discrepancies file (suffix.DTX)
•
Clinical data responses file (suffix.CDC)
•
Legend of codes file (suffix.KEY)
Viewing or deleting the list of archive files
After you have activated archive maintenance, 31 days of archive files are
automatically created and saved on the hard drive when the next maintenance
cycle completes. You can view which archive files currently exist and delete
archive files that you would like to have recreated in the next maintenance
cycle.You cannot see the actual archive files, just the dates that correspond with
those archives.
