Data File Transfer Method• QC data file required for data
transformation• Works with UnityConnect™ and
WebConnect™ 2.0• QC data is saved to a:
– Folder on Computer Desktop– Floppy disk– CD– Flash drive
• QC data file is typically created once a month
• Practical solution for peer group comparison

Serial Data Stream Approach
• Direct flow of data from laboratory system through a serial connection
Serial Data Stream Method
• Direct flow of data in real time from laboratory system to UnityConnect™
through a serial connection• Low cost solution for
immediate access to data in QC data management (Unity™) software for run-time decisions and peer group comparison
Serial Data Stream - Setup
Step One: Setup Hardware• Multiple configurations
available• 819 Kit
– Lantronix UDS100 w/power adapter– Data tap– Serial cable – 25 pin male – Serial cable – 9 pin female to 25 pin male– 9 pin female to 25 pin male converter– 25 pin female to 9 pin male converter
