Appendix L

Cross-Platform File
Exchange

It is possible to move image data between Discovery Series software applications on
different platforms. There are different protocols depending on the platform (PC or
Macintosh) you are transferring from and to.

L.1 Macintosh to PC

To transfer a file from a Discovery Series application running on a Macintosh to a
Discovery Series application running on a PC, you need to tag the file name with the
suffix appropriate to the image file type (e.g., 1-D scan).

For 1-D gels (Diversity Database, Quantity One) use the suffix: .1sc

For DNA Scans (DNA Code) use the suffix: .dsc

L.2 PC to Macintosh

PC versions of Discovery Series files can be read directly by Macintosh applications,
with no required modifications.
