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.
A.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
A.2 PC to Macintosh
PC versions of Discovery Series files can be read directly by Macintosh
applications, with no required modifications.
