Methods
Administrators can view all of the methods installed in the software, import new methods or delete existing
methods by touching the
Methods
button on the Administrator page window (Figure 25). The Methods
window displays a list of the currently installed methods in the Maxwell
®
RSC User Application Software
including the name, version number and catalog number for each method.
As Promega provides new purification kits, new protocol methods can be added to the Maxwell
®
RSC
Software. Occasionally, an existing protocol method may have to be updated. Only Administrators can
add new protocol methods or update existing methods. Administrators can download new protocol
methods for new purification kits or updated existing protocol methods from the Promega web site
(www.promega.com/resources/tools/) onto a USB drive that can be used to transfer the method to the
Tablet PC using one of the Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument’s USB ports. The Administrator can import the
methods using the
Methods
button on the Administrator Page window (Figure 25) to bring up the Methods
Window. In the Methods Window, the Administrator can touch the
Select Import Package
button to
import new protocol methods (Figure 28). If an updated method is imported for an existing kit, the new
method will replace the original one. The current path that has been set is indicated at the top of the
window. Any folders present within the default path are displayed in the main portion of the window, and
package files are displayed as blue rectangles. After navigating to the appropriate package file the Adminis-
trator can touch the
OK
button to import the new method. Once the import is completed a message
indicating the method was successfully imported is shown.
To delete methods from the Maxwell
®
RSC Instrument software the Administrator should touch the
X
icon
to the right side of the specified method. Methods that have been deleted from the software can always be
re-imported at a latter date. Each method has an associated version number. The version number can be
accessed by Administrators. If you need to reinstall a previous method, you will need to use the package file
that contains that version. After importing a new kit and associated method, the Maxwell
®
RSC software
database is updated, allowing users to scan the new kit bar code and have the new method automatically
loaded.
Promega will send notification to registered users of any software updates to the Maxwell
®
RSC Software.
Administrators can download updated Maxwell
®
RSC Software from the Promega web site. Promega will
provide instructions on how to update the Maxwell
®
RSC Software.
