Re Setting files for operation:
AUTO INSTRUMENT FILE:
When entering tests into the CHEM TESTS field be sure the PARAM 3
subfields have no spaces in the test names entered here.
LOAD/WORKLIST FILE:
In order to display the tests for verification using EA in the
same order as they come off on the EPX printouts you must:
MUX settings:
1) Create a test in the LAB TEST FILE (e.g. EPX PROFILE) with
the tests in LAB TESTS INCLUDED IN PANEL entered in the order
they display from your EPX printout. TYPE is OUTPUT.
2) Enter this test into the LOAD/WORKLIST Profile you have
given for the EPX. This test should be BUILD NAME ONLY: NO.
All the other tests should be set to BUILD NAME ONLY: YES.
3) LOAD TRANSFORM should be set to UNIVERSAL. INITIAL SETUP
needs to be set to INITIAL SET.

In regard to smooth operation of the Downloading routine:
Speed (RCVR & XMT) : 1200
1) Must reindex the disk at least weekly, if not more frequently.
2) Use a separate carousel (e.g. 99) for running controls,
calibrators, and water. If system prompts for these
parameters should appear during a run on your test
carousel they will interfere with the download.
3) You may use the same carousel until it is full. The routines
will progress to the next carousel. Do not use a carousel
that has previously been employed without first doing the
reindex (see #1 above).
4) Auto send- ON
Modem Cntrl : NONE
5) The rationale for the reindexing is that current EPX software
will not consistently delete the PID which is assigned during
the download. This causes problems when trying subsequent
downloads to the same carousel. Hence, reindex or use
a different carousel.
6) Everytime there is a glitch with the host computer the
EPX stops talking to the host and must be rebooted.
