The ScanExpert Wizard can be used to make changes to any script that was created by the Wizard in the first place.
Note: If you use ScanExpert Wizard to create a script and then edit the script using the ScanExpert Editor, the changes you made with the Editor will NOT be recorded in the script definition (.DEF) file. If you subsequently pull that script back into the ScanExpert Wizard, generate the script and save it under the same name, any changes you made in the Editor will be lost (i.e., the script will revert to its original, unedited state).
| • | To edit an existing script, launch the ScanExpert Wizard and click on the Load Definition File button on the Wizard toolbar. |
Open an existing script for editing in the Wizard
| • | The Load Definition File dialog will display. You will see a list of files with a .DEF extension. These files contain the script definitions that the Wizard needs to recreate the layout. I am going to select the definition file that was generated for the script we created in the last section. After you select a Definition file, click on the Open button. |
Load Definition File dialog
| • | Once the definition file has loaded, the Layout Grid should populate with the original layout information. |
Layout Grid is populated automatically based on the Definition file.
| • | From here you can add new studies or change the configuration of the existing studies, or even delete some of the existing studies. You can also add or edit conditions and associate alerts with one or more of those conditions. Once you have completed your changes, repeat the Save process by clicking on the Generate Script button. You can either overwrite the existing script or save it under a new name. |
Note: You can only remove studies that are NOT currently being used as input to other studies.
Note: All studies that use other studies as input MUST be below those referrer studies in the Layout Grid. So, for example, if you create a moving average of a CCI, and if the CCI is on row 3 of the Layout Grid then the moving average study that uses the CCI as input can be no higher in the Layout Grid than row 4.
