The file ID number refers to the number given to the data when it was saved during “Local mode”
operation. File numbers are issued chronologically in the sequence that recorded data is saved to
memory as files. Hence in the above example, file number 1 contains data which was gathered
when the first script was executed in “Local mode”.
Once a valid file number has been entered the computer will interrogate the instrument’s memory
to retrieve a copy of both the appropriate data set and the experimental script that was used to
generate the data. If “full data” mode has been used trace data is presented in the data recording
area. The “Parameters Window” is up-dated with the file number, date and time of script
execution and associated parameters.
The data is then available to further analysis, storage or export via a “drop-down” menu in
“Modfluor” software. The script that was used to generate the data can be viewed or refined with
the “Script Editor”.
EDITED SCRIPTS CANNOT BE DOWN-LOADED INTO THE CONTROL UNIT TO
OVER-WRITE EXISTING SCRIPTS UNTIL ALL OF THE DATA HAS BEEN CLEARED.
BEFORE DOWN-LOADING EDITED SCRIPTS FOR FURTHER EXPERIMENTATION
IT IS ADVISABLE TO DOWN-LOAD THE INSTRUMENT AND CLEAR MEMORY.
Upload to File
The Upload to screen function only allows single files to be retrieved in each data transfer
session. Multiple files may be retrieved in a single session using the Upload to file function. The
following file selection screen is generated (Figure 3-3):
