Exit
Initially data must be opened within the program before parameters can be viewed. This can be
achieved by searching and loading previously saved parameter (*.PAR) files from disc with the
Text search and Load data functions. These operate in the same manner as “Modfluor” ( Section 2 )
Alternatively new data must be uploaded from the control unit with the Upload params function.
Upload params
When selected the Upload params function interrogates the control unit to list the instruments
memory contents. Files can be uploaded by protocol type with defined ranges using the “first file”
and “last file” settings (Figure 3-5).
Fig. 3-5.
“Select files” for upload prompt.
When “OK” is pressed the selected files are uploaded to the “Parview” program. At this stage only
three columns of file identification parameters are displayed in columns within the parameter
display area; experimental replicates are loaded by row (Figure 3-6).
Fig. 3-6. Parameter presentation after upload. The file identification parameters of
File number, Date of execution and Time are presented in three columns. Replicates
are presented by row.
At this stage the full set of parameters plus a copy of the script used to generate them are
resident in PC memory. They may be stored to disc as a *.PAR file using the Save data function.
The parameter display area must be configured to display further parameters. Appropriate
functions are located under the Column headings menu.
