4. Highlight the directory in your computer to which you’d like the run data transferred.
5. Start the purification run according to the procedure outlined in section 6.6. As the run
progresses, data appears in real time in the software chromatogram(s) and data tables.
At the end of the run, the completed data file will be stored in the directory highlighted in
step 4.
Note: The run data filename format consists of the run name assigned by the user on the
Enter Run & Sample Information screen on the instrument (see section 6.3) and an .ofi file
extension.
12.3.2 Portable Memory Device Data Transfer
After the file has been transferred from the Profinia instrument to the portable USB portable
memory device (see section 9.1.1 for information on transferring run data files to a portable
memory device):
1. Plug the portable memory device into any available USB port on your computer.
2. Open the folder for the USB portable memory device.
3. Choose the folder on the computer in which you would like to place the run data file, or
create a new folder in which to store the data file. Profinia automatically creates a
“Data” folder in the software system files created upon installation (for example, if you
installed the software program in the “C: Program Files” location, there will be a “Data”
folder automatically created in the same location).
4. Copy and paste or drag and drop the run file from the portable USB portable device
folder to the desired data folder.
