This option opens a Scan In/Out window with several choices. Cases can be scanned in from another data source (provided they use the same format as TOXICALL® or TESS). They can also be scanned out, usually this is used for manually sending a center’s data to the AAPCC’s TESS.
WARNING: Do not scan ANY data into TOXICALL® without first contacting TOXICALL® Technical Support.
To scan data into a TOXICALL® database, click the File menu and select Scan Cases In/Out. Click on the appropriate Scan Type. Click on the lookup button to the right of Scan in Source File, and select the database to be scanned in. Click on the down arrow to the right of Scan in Destination database and choose the destination database for the data and click Start.
To scan data out from a TOXICALL® database, open the database that contains the cases to be scanned out and perform a search to locate the specific files to scan out. Click the File menu and select Scan Cases In/Out. Click on the appropriate Scan Type. Click on the lookup button to the right of Scan Out Destination File. Locate or create a filename for the file to hold the scanned out cases. Select either Append to Existing File or Overwrite Existing File. Choose to either scan out Selected Cases or All Displayed Cases. If you may have previously scanned these cases, but would like to scan them again, check the Ignore Scan Flag Status checkbox. Click Start.
If you will be sending this data to the AAPCC manually, you will need to establish an ftp connection to their server and login with your center’s login and password.
