ERROR DATA EXPORT ANALYSIS
The VISCPRO ® Error Data Export analysis compiles error information
from the sample database for serial output and exports it in ASCII text
format. The port output filters (Date, Error and Error Report) permit the
user to select and output desired data to a file, LPT port or serial port in
whatever format is desired.
NOTE Once the port output analysis has been generated, it cannot be
reconfigured like other VISCPRO
® analyses. This prevents duplicate data
from being resent to network collection systems your lab may have in
place. To re-send data to the serial port, close the analysis window (you
may save the configured analysis if you desire) and then recreate the
analysis .
Available data for analysis In addition to the serial transmission, the analysis is displayed on the
computer screen in a tabular format and may include the following data:
Error —Error description
Date— Date when the test was completed
Time— Time when the test was completed
Error Source —Source for the error message (instrument or other)
Instr ID —Identification of the instrument associated with the error (if
applicable)
Sample ID —Identification of the sample associated with the error (if
