File Exchange
When the software is installed for the first time on the PC, the method files, calibrators, controls, and
results, will be automatically generated in the start-up register, each with its own characteristic extension.
In
Maintenance Menu
Settings
Files
are shown the locations of the method files, calibrators and
controls.
In
Maintenance Menu
Settings
Database
is shown the location of the result files.
The calibrators and controls files are replaced one by the other with the
Load
command in each of the
menus.
The method files however, are additive, meaning that when loading a new method file using the
Method
Load
, both files will be combined.
For using a new method file discarding the file in use, follow the steps below:
1. Create a backup of the method file in use, sending it to another location in the computer or to a
removable unit
2. Go to
Maintenance

and see the exact location of the method file in use
3. Close the program
4. Go to the location of the method file in use and delete it

6. Load the new method file going to
Methods
Load
select the new file in the explorer window
Open
7. Verify in
Methods
Settings
, that the new methods have been loaded and press OK
Caution: Whenever a new file is being used it is necessary to recalibrate all the configured
techniques.

Importing samples from an administration program
From a laboratory central administration software sample requests can be entered into the software
through a standard CSV (comma, space, value) formatted file.
To do this, a communication protocol between both programs must be designed that takes into account
the requirements of this file type.
