1 AP TOOL
AP Tool Software is utility software for field engineers to install settings for
biochemical analysis conditions, contamination avoidance, and reagent information on
the user's BM6070/C.
To use AP Tool Software, you need to export the various analysis condition setting files
created in advance and create an AP Tool Disk in conjunction with the exported files.

(Chemistry) window.

2. Display the biochemical analysis conditions for the item number that you
want to set.

3. If Calc.mthd is MSTD, perform the following steps. Skip these steps if

Calc.mthd is not MSTD.
Click RBL Setting to display the Reagent Blank Setting window.
Click OK on the Reagent Blank Setting window.
Click Save on the Analytical Parameters (Chemistry) window.

2.4 Creating a Contamination Avoidance Configuration

File
The contents of the Contamination Settings window are reflected in the contamination
avoidance configuration file.
DETERGNT.TBL is the detergent configuration file. Since it differs for each language,
it is necessary to separate the files into different folders. If you want to support English,
Chinese, and Russian versions of the JCA-BM6070/C system software with a single AP
Tool Disk, create a DETERGNT.TBL file for each language in a folder for each
language in AP Tool Disk.

■ Procedure

1. Log on with a service account.

2. Open the Communication Settings window.

3. Enter the contamination avoidance conditions.

4. Click Save to save the setting. Saving the settings updates

CONTMPIP.TBL, CONTMRRV.TBL, CONTMCHK.TBL, and
DETERGNT.TBL in the C:\A002\ETC folder.

5. Copy CONTMPIP.TBL, CONTMRRV.TBL, and CONTMCHK.TBL in the

C:\A002\ETC folder to the AP Tool Disk \ETC folder.

6. Copy DETERGNT.TBL in the C:\A002\ETC folder to a folder in AP Tool

Disk in accordance with the language of the JCA-BM6070/C system
software.
• English: \ETC\DETERGNT\E
• Chinese: \ETC\DETERGNT\ C
• Russian: \ETC\DETERGNT\ R

2.5 Creating the Method Deletion List

This file specifies the biochemical analysis conditions to be deleted and the settings
associated with the items.
The file is named "MethodDeletionList.txt" and is located in AP Tool Disk.
If a biochemical analysis condition configuration file with the same number as the
biochemical analysis condition number specified in the Method Deletion List is
configured in the EXPORT folder in AP Tool Disk, the existing settings will be deleted
and the new biochemical analysis parameter settings will be installed after the existing
settings are deleted.

■ Procedure

1. Create a text file using a text editor and save it as "MethodDeletionList.txt".

* Specify ANSI as the encoding type.

2. Enter the Analy. Cond. No. that you want to delete.

The format of a single line of text should be <Analy. Cond. No.><Line Feed>.
A semicolon ";" is recognized as a comment, and subsequent characters on the line are
ignored.
Note: If there is no biochemical analysis condition setting that you want to delete, leave
it blank.
