The SDS User Account Manager Software installs with the version of the SDS
software that includes the database client software. The software allows users of the
Administrator User Group to assign privileges and passwords for user accounts, and
to add and remove them. See the SDS Enterprise Database for the Applied
Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System Administrators Guide
(PN 4351669) for more information.
The SDS Enterprise Database persists three primary types of retrievable data used to
operate the 7900HT instrument and to analyze the collected run data:
• Plate documents
• Analysis sessions
• Studies
Figure 1-18 describes the sources and uses of the different types of data persisted to
the database throughout the operation of the Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast
