2. Making Protocol Formats from an ASCII Text File. PRO-

Soft can load equipment information from an ASCII text file.

ASCII text files can be created on each of the oximeters for

which you intend to produce protocol formats. The ASCII file

must follow this pattern :

EquipCode = <Equipment Code>

SerNo = <Serial Number>

Status = <Status>

Group = <Group>

Manufacturer = <Manufacturer>

Model = <Model>

Type = <Type>

Location = <Location>

Sequence Name = <Name of Test Sequence>

Procedure = <Procedure Filename>

This file contains information on one oximeter. The text preced-

ing the '=' sign is only for your convenience. The text following

the '=' sign is used to construct a protocol format. Make sure that

the lines appear in the right order, i.e., appliance code first, .... ,

procedure text last. Use a text editor or a word processor that can

save ASCII text to create the file (e.g., Notepad). To produce

protocol formats from the data in the file, select

File, Equipment

data, From ASCII-file. Select the file containing the oximeter

information and click on

OK. The program will read the file and

add one new protocol format to the database library for each

oximeter
