Editing Settings Using the Reader Configuration Utility (RCU)
Overview
The Reader Configuration Utility (RCU) allows the user to set up Readers according to the needs of their institution. The RCU stores this setup information in a set of Reader configuration files. Each Group of one or more Readers has its own directory containing a set of configuration files that define how the Readers in that Group operate. These files include assay lists and settings, LQC lists and settings and operator lists and settings. Note that more than one Group can share the same assay list, control list and/or operator list by either setting the list locations to the same directory for each Group OR by using Save As to save a list in multiple directories.
In a network environment, Readers can be set to periodically check their assigned Group directory for configuration changes. In addition, Readers can be configured to send new results and log information to a network directory.
