Data Management - SensLab Lactate Scout Assistant Quick Start Manual

7. DATA MANAGEMENT

The Lactate Scout device stores up to 250 rea-
dings in its internal memory, before the first
readings will be overwrited automatically by the
latest ones. Additionally, all readings get a uni-
que ID, counting up to 65.536: This is used to
relate automatically the imported device data
with already existing data in the software file,
especially if the file contains more than 250
measurement data. The measurement ID (five
characters) is also recognizable in the test list.
To administrate the readings in compact files or
to separate data sets of different people, you can
make a free selection of data and copy it into a
new file: To reset potentially existing selections,
click the Reset-Button („R", above the button
„Receive data"). Hold down the STRG-key on
your PC-keyboard and click with the left mouse
button in the rows of the test list, to select the
data sets. Afterwards move the mouse pointer
to the menu bar, selecting „files" and clicking
on the option „New with selected data". Now
you can save the selected data in a separate
new file, giving a specific name. This method is
recommended to split data sets for single persons (e.g. for protocol print),
or to edit the data independently from the origin file: Its data content will
not be changed by creating new files. Also the data sets in different files can
always be compared by their unalterate measurement-ID numbers.
Another option for flexible data management is the export
of selected data sets for editing in external applications, e.g.
Office/Excel. To select the data, proceed as described abo-
ve: Afterwards select „files" in the menu bar again and click
on the option „Export data": Giving a specific file name, the
selected data will now be stored in CSV-format, ready for
import by regular Office applications.
Forwarding the data to third parties, please take generally
care to protect carefully the personal rights of patients and
anonymize the user data.
