Abaxis i-STAT Alinity v - Uploading NC File to Analyzer

i-STAT Alinity v — User Manual 650-7100 Rev. A69
AlinIQ NCi - Copy NC (ancc) le onto a USB memory stick
NC files are uploaded to analyzers via USB memory stick as described in the next
section.
The following rules apply to the number and type of NC (ancc) files that may
reside on the USB memory stick:
• Any ancc file to be uploaded to an analyzer must reside at the top level of the
directory structure of the USB memory stick. The ancc file should not be in a
folder.
• The USB memory stick may contain multiple ancc files created with serial
numbers, but the serial numbers must be unique (there cannot be more than
one ancc file with the same serial number at top level).
• The USB memory stick may contain one and only one ancc file created without
a serial number. If both serialized and non-serialized ancc files are placed on the
USB memory stick at the top level, then upon upload to the analyzer, the
analyzer will attempt to upload a serialized ancc file if it finds a serial that
matches that of the analyzer itself, otherwise it will attempt to upload the
non-serialized ancc file.
Use the following steps to copy the ancc file onto the USB memory stick:
1. Plug the USB memory stick into the USB slot of the computer. A message
displays indicating that the operating system recognizes the drive and it is
ready to use.
2. From the Start menu, click Computer > Downloads.
3. In the displayed list, find the lename.ancc file and right-click on it.
4. Click Send to: and press Enter. This loads the file onto the memory
stick.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each ancc file to be copied.
