SEAL-IT 100 Device Driver User Guide
The exact name of the file is specific to the device. For example, the
RVSI VR4000 device driver creates a file with the name
vialreaderresults.txt.
This file can only store data for one read, which means that the set of
data for each read overwrites the last set in the file. To avoid this
problem you must set up an output file naming convention.
Profile default
output file name Some device drivers allow more than one device of that type to be used
in the lab automation system. In this case, each device must have its
own profile. Even if you have only one device, you can still set up
multiple profiles for it, with each storing different settings.
In these cases, you probably want each profile to have a separate default
output filename to prevent the data from runs using one profile
overwriting those of another.
Filename suffixes To prevent the data from one read overwriting the data from another,
you need to append a variable suffix to the file name. You can append a
date/time stamp and one or more bar codes on the rack or plate.
Example The example output file folder below shows that a profile default file
name of output.txt was created at one time. At another time, a suffix was
appended in the profile for the device driver, which added a barcode
identifier to the file name (for example output_C100040329.txt).
