Idexx Plate Reader

Idexx Plate Reader

The Idexx Plate Reader job interfaces with an Idexx machine to send and receive test results based on an upload and archive folder. 

Job Settings

This job uses the standard Job API settings for VetView.  The job can run as frequently as one minute, but if you have a slower network, it may be prudent to set it on a slower timer to ensure that each upload is complete before starting a new one.

FieldDescription
Active FlagIndicates that this job is active and available to start.
Server to Run OnDisplays a drop down of all servers currently connected to your VetView database.  We strongly recommend having a dedicated API server, separate from the user facing production servers, to avoid lag.
Auto StartIndicates that this job will start after a server reboot, and will run at the specified time.  If this flag is not turned on, the job will need a manual start after a server reboot.
Error to Email AddressIf there is an issue running the job, a message will be sent to the specified email address.
Job Runs EveryThe timer for this job.  For most API jobs, this timer can be set as often as once a minute.  If you are on a slower or older server, this may be better to run less frequently, to give each job time to finish.
Start/Stop JobIf auto start is not on, this button will kick off the job.  If the job is running, this button changes to Stop Job and will disable the job temporarily, but leave it active and available to start again.

Additional Settings

The additional settings for the Idexx plate reader allow you to link your lab's test and results to the settings on the machine and assigns an upload folder for the machine to check.  The output information can also be set to an archive folder for VetView to read.
