You can press the button “Convert All Printouts” to convert manually.

1.5 Creating New Exam from Command-line Interface A-Scan Manager program can generate a new exam auto-filled with patient demographic via command-line interface without GUI or user interaction. The newly created exam can save to USB disk directly (assuming only one is plugged in). NOTE: It can be used by other applications, such as EMR, to generate new exams automatically to reduce human errors. 1.5.1
Command-line parameters
Each parameter consists of a name and a value in the following format: AscanManager.exe <-Parameter Name> <value> The values can be single word or multiple words. A multiple words value has to be double quoted. Some of the special characters, such as ‘‘, ‘.‘, ‘[‘, and ‘]‘ … etc, should not be used in patient's name. The following is the list of names: ParameterName
Value
-help -lastname -firstname -medicalrecordnumber -dateofbirth -remark
Print out this help menu to console Patient’s family name Patient’s given name Patient’s Medical Record Number Patient’s birthday Format: MM/DD/Year (optional) Additional exam comments (optional)
1.5.2

The following figures show the output of the command-line example.

1.6 Using the New Exams created by Command-line on A-Scan Plus After your EMR created a new exam on USB disk via Command-line Interface, you can use it to scan and calculate in A-Scan Plus and later export the printouts back to EMR. The following steps work you through the entire process. 1.6.1
Load Exam on A-Scan Plus

After the writing to USB disk is done (LED on USB disk stops flashing), un-plug the USB disk and plug-in to the PC. Start A-Scan Manager if it is not running already. Any printouts will be automatically converted to user defined format and exported to user defined folder. The following figure is the list with new exams from the A-Scan.

1.7 Backup and Restore Exams on A-Scan Plus USB units A-Scan Manager is designed to be an archiving tool for the A-Scan Plus which can store up to 100 exams to its internal memory. Users can transfer the exams to a USB disk and store them on a PC and transfer back for reviewing purposes. It is much easier to manage exams on a PC than on the A-scan itself. 1.7.1
