Electronic Reports
There are a variety of electronic reports that you can generate using the
QuantaSmart™ system. On the Report Definition tab of the Assay Definition
window, first define a named report with the information that you need. On the
Report Output tab, select the desired named report and indicate what type of
electronic report that want to generate. The electronic output formats include:
„
Rich Text Format (RTF)
„
Delimited Text (ASCII)
„
RS232 (cabled transmission, not a file format)
Other, predefined sets of data can also be selected for output using the Special
Files tab of the Assay Definition interface. This other data includes:
„
Composite Spectra File
„
Individual Spectrum Files
„
IPA™ Data
„
Protocol Data (PROT.DAT)
„
Protocol Data (2000CA.DAT)
All of the data files are stored to the location that you define for each protocol.
When you associate an assay with a protocol flag for the first time, you will be
prompted for data path information. The Data Paths window appears so that
you can identify information specific to this protocol (not the assay) for data
storage. You can also view or modify this information for existing protocol
associations by choosing the Data Paths item on the File menu.
