Bidirectional Instrument Interfacing

You must have

• An Instrument setup with both its Interfaces installed

• A Worksheet assigned to that Instrument

Export the Worksheet

In this example we use a WS assigned to. Click [Export]

The file will be downloaded to your designated Downloads folder, preferably an instrument designated network folder

It will have a filename that starts with the Worksheet number, e.g. Worksheet-26-051-Axios XRF.csv in this example

Import the Worksheet export of Sample IDs on the Instrument and load the Samples in the order they appear on the Worksheet. Proceed with the Instrument run

When done analysing, export the results to a network folder where it can be picked up by the LIMS

Manual Instrument Results Import

Navigate to Imports on in the LIMS, select Import, Instrument import, Axios XRF ICP-OS, the results file and press [Submit]

You can leave the other options untouched unless you want to overwrite earlier results on Analyses in other states than Received

The LIMS will take a while processing the import, and will return a trace back of what it did. Everything in blue is fine, orange are warnings. Errors in red will be indicated

If all is ok, we can now go back to our worksheet (Refresh it if you had it open already)

The results would've been captured and you can go ahead verifying them

Automated imports

If the LIMS is set up for the importer to monitor an instrument dedicated folder to automatically pick up new results files, use that. The LIMS will regularly scan this folder and import any new files, saving you more time
