Flow and requirements for integration with command row:
Shared folder
For each patient, the software creates a specific folder identified with file name/number containing all of the
images, audio and video created with MacroPATH.
Additionally, the software also creates the XML file of the session in this folder, with a lot of information,
including: Patient ID, file opening and closing time.
How MacroPATH saves the images
For each specific case it is required to enter the file name/number, using the software’s interface, by
manually typing it with the keyboard or using the barcode reader. MacroPATH does not automatically
generate any identification code for the file, so to start the system the user is required to enter the specimen
identifier file name/number.
The MacroPATH system can also receive the file name/number directly from the LIMS system.
Image acquisition
Refer to chapter 3.4.6.
Where and how images are saved:
MacroPATH files are saved (by default) in the path/directory:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Milestone srl\MacroPath5\IMAGES
By default, this directory is created in the hard-disk C, but the archive can be saved wherever you wish. We
strongly recommend placing the Images folder in a different position on the local network (refer to chapter
3.6.4).
The example provided below shows how 5 images taken from file ABC are saved in the directory
(C:\Users\Public\Documents\Milestone srl\MacroPath5\IMAGES)
All the images are saved in .JPG format. The MacroPATH software automatically saves the images with the
ID name (file name) as shown below:

Data are imported by an
