DATABASE MANAGER
(Refer to Figure 2-8.)
The Database Manager portion of the program allows patient information, procedures specifications or
isotope information to be saved to a floppy diskette or other information storage format.
To Save Patient Specific Data:
1. Click on <Patient Definition> to open the patient definition window.
2. Insert a blank floppy diskette into the floppy drive.
3. Click on <File> in the menu bar, then click <Database Manager> on the drop-down list. The
Database Manager screen is now displayed. The left side of the screen displays the current
information while the right side shows where the data will be stored or transferred.
4. To save a specific patient's data, click on that patient in the left hand column. The arrow at the top of
the page will then point to the right, which is labeled “Backup.”
NOTE: Drive A: should be shown as the back-up destination. If drive A: is not displayed as the back-up
destination, use the Back-up drop-down menu to select Drive A:. If Drive A: is not displayed as an option on
the Back-up drop- down menu, click on the “...” box below “Backup” at the upper right of the screen. Choose 3-
1/2" Floppy (A) from the drop-down menu to select drive A, then click on <Open>. The system should return
to the Back-up screen with drive A: now selected.
6. Click on the <Copy> button in the bottom center of the screen to duplicate the source file onto the
floppy.
NOTE: To copy all of the patients in the database, you can highlight all the patients by clicking on the first one
and then sliding the pointer down to cover all the patients. Click on <Copy> and all patient data for all
patients will be transferred to the floppy.
To Transfer or Restore Data From A Floppy To The Hard Drive:
1. Click on <Patient Definition> to open the patient definition window.
2. Click on <File> in the menu bar, then click <Database Manager> on the drop-down list. The
Database Manager screen is now displayed. The left side of the screen displays the current
information while the right side shows where the data will be stored or transferred.
3. Highlight the right hand column upper window and type in A:\. Highlight the specific patient or
patient data that you wish to transfer to the hard drive. When you click on the right hand column,
the arrow at the right will show the direction the data will move. When this is correct, press the
<Copy> at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: The <Move> function works like the copy function. It removes it from the original database and puts
it into the backup database.
