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

 Tray Index—Position of the sample tray associated with the error
(trays are numbered sequentially from left to right)
