15.F. Transferring Data
Results files are transferred to a computer via a USB flash drive using the USB
port located to the left of the touch screen. The files are exported in a .csv
format and are compatible with Microsoft Excel on both Windows
Macintosh
®
computers. Step-by-step directions follow.
1. To transfer data from the GloMax
computer, insert a USB flash drive into the USB port located left of the
touch screen. When the USB flash drive is detected, an icon depicting a
USB flash drive should appear on the Instrument Status bar.
2. Touch the "Results" button on the Instrument Status screen.
3. Touch the "Files" button, and highlight the file(s) to be exported.
4. Touch the "USB" button under the "Tools" button.
5. Touch the "OK" button to export only the selected file(s). Touch the "Copy
All Files" button to export all of the results files. The .csv formatted file(s)
will be saved onto the USB flash drive in the folder named: Promega\Data
6. Move the USB flash drive to your local computer.
• For Windows
• For Macintosh
Excel.
Most USB flash drives are compatible with the GloMax
System. USB flash drives greater than 1GB may take longer than others to be
recognized. Wait a few seconds for the instrument to recognize the USB flash
drive. If the USB flash drive is not detected after a few seconds, try a different
flash drive. Call Promega Technical Services for details regarding which USB
flash drives are currently known to be incompatible.
Note: Results files can be transferred from the instrument to a computer only
!
via a USB flash drive. Use the USB port on the front of the instrument.
After results files are transferred, backup copies will remain on the internal
memory of the GloMax
displayed in the Files window of the Results screen.
Due to the nature of the data generated by the GloMax
System, it is necessary that computers used for data capture and analysis are
capable of reading data with a comma-separated value. To ensure best results,
the computer should be operating in English (United States) mode. This option
is accessible in the Windows Control Panel in the "Regional and Language
Options".
Note: Inserting the USB flash drive while the instrument is conducting a plate
read is not recommended. We recommend that you either insert it before or
after pressing the "Start" button.
