[Histonet] software : edit listing on autostainer dako

Sun Jan 5 01:10:30 CST 2014

Hi all,

When you use Autostainer+ from Dako (but any autostainer does the same) 
you edit a log file (one is xxxxxxxx*.pgm* the other is xxxxxxxx*.pg*)
It countains the informations that you put directly in the machine software.

The procedure is rather long even if you use shortcuts.

It would be great to create such a log file directly with your 
informations created with other software out of autostan soft.
Minimal informations are the number of the block, slide number and name 
of antibody. All that would be in a small text format listing created 
with other tools.

The actual log file is made with these informations and many visible and 
invisible ascii codes and a lot of logic.
I could discover many but many problems remain.
Moreover my software to create a new log file cannot manage all these 
invisible ascii codes.

So I couldnt realise yet an easy soft that could transform a small 
organised list of numbers and name of reagents in a readable log for 
Autostainer.

_Did someone succeed in that task ? _

These is for personnal use, not for commercial purpoise.

Best

Richard
