1. Purpose and Scope
The document describes the different XML-files that the BM850 can export, either to USB storage device or host
computer. The reader of this document is expected to have a basic knowledge of XML.
2. References
[BM800_Com] The BM800 communication specification, Centuri 18531
4. Introduction
The BM850 can export several different XML files containing different kinds of data. These XML-files are primarily
meant for use in automated data management, hence the format of the data in the files should be independent of how the
instrument is setup. For instance, time-stamps should always be formatted the same in the XML-files even if they are
presented differently in the GUI. Also, in general attributes are not used.
4.1. Export destination and general file-name when exporting to USB storage device
In general, when exporting to an USB storage device the exported file will be saved in the following directory:
/SN-xxxxxx/yyyy-mm/
BM-xxxxxx-LogName-yyyymmddHHMMSS.xml
Note that sample results are handled in a slightly different way. See Chapter 4.5 for more details.
yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM
5. Sample results
The sample results file is the same as the one used in the BM800, in order to be backward-compatible. Even though it’s
not XML in the strict sense, it’s “mostly” XML. See BM800_Com for details about the contents of the file.
When exporting sample results to USB storage device, the results will end up in the same directory as specified in
chapter 4.1. However, the name of the file is in the format:
BM-xxxxxx-S-yyyymmdd.xml
Note that the time of the export is not included in the file-name. If the file is not present when doing a sample results
export, it’ll be created. Further sample exports during the same day will be appended to that file.
6.1. CalibrationSet
This element contains a set of calibration factors. It consists of the following elements:
6.2. SubBoardsVer
This element contains information about the different sub-boards in the instrument. It contains one FirmwareInfo
element for each sub-board. The FirmwareInfo-element contains the following elements:
Figure 3: Structure of All settings (with info header, SubBoardsVer and CalibrationList removed)
The LogName for all settings is AllSettings. The root element is AllSettings. Besides the info header (see chapter 4.4), it
contains the following elements:
7.2. Assays
The LogName for calibration reports is CalibReport. The root element is CalibrationReport. Besides the info header
(see chapter 4.4), it contains the following elements:
Figure 6: Structure of Instrument log (with info header and SubBoardsVer removed)
The LogName for all settings is InstrLog. The root element InstrumentLog. Besides the info header (see chapter 4.4), it
contains the following elements:
7.5.1. CyclePost
Each CyclePost-element contains the following elements:
