The highly flexible BioReport is Modular Instrument’s data acquisition software. BioReport incorporates a modular design so that you can design the acquisition system that is right for you.

BioReport basically consists of two parts. The first part is a Data Engine. The second part is made up of the various types of analysis. The Data Engine drives the analysis. You must start with the Data Engine.

BioReport’s Data Engine provides a powerful yet user friendly graphical interface.



BioReport’s Data Engine organizes your data acquisition into three parts, the System Folder, the Protocol Template Folder, and the Study Folder.



The System Folder allows you to configure and manipulate the various parts of the data acquisition system that have an effect across the entire system, such as the time and date or disk maintenance.



The Protocol Template Folder allows you to build Protocol Templates that you will use and reuse in Studies. Protocols consists of multiple levels such as Events and Subjects. You assign channels to each subject. The channels are the various analysis you want to perform. Events are used by the protocol for navigation through the experimental data and for data extraction.



The Study Folder organizes your data into Studies. Studies consist of Experiments. Each Experiment consists of the data collected according to the study’s Default Protocol. However, BioReport is flexible enough to allow you to use any protocol in your Protocol Template Folder to direct data acquisition.

Flexibility is the key feature of BioReport. The Data Engine design allows you to add optional folders. For example you can add the GLP Folder to the Data Engine. The GLP Folder would allow you operate the data acquisition system under GLP standards.

With the GLP option, the data acquisition system is controlled via a central authority, the GLP Administrator. GLP gives you the ability to create and modify users. Under GLP users are assigned properties. A user is allowed to perform only those data acquisition functions that their properties specify. Under GLP a user is identified through BioMetrics via a fingerprint which also provides the elecronic signature.



Flexibility and power are the keystones of the Data Engine while running an experiment. The tree structure provides easy and rapid navigation through the protocol and experimental data. By simply clicking on an event in the Experiment Log you can instantly review the trend data or the raw data at that point in the experiment.

An unlimited number of trends can be displayed in the graphs and trend comparison between channel types is a snap with the four independent scales. Color selection is a click away as is the ability to change the time base.



When you don’t need to use the tree, you can expand the graphs. The tree is easy to toggle on and off. When you need to examine specific trend values at any point in the experiment, a simple mouse click displays the values. In addition, the actual raw data at any point in the experiment is a mouse click away. Click and select the raw channel you desire.



Extraction of trend data is Event driven. You generate tables of trend values by specifing a beginning point via an event and then specifying an ending event or time. You can extract all the trends between the beginning and end or find the Average, Maximum, Minimum, Median, Area, or Maximum Response. Tabulation can also provide the Delta Control, Percent of Control, or Percentage of 100%. BioReport’s Data Engine offers a powerful, easy, and flexible Tabulation.



All of this powerful flexibility is included with BioReport’s Data Engine module. The Second part to a BioReport data acquisition system is the selection of Channel types that you require. You select only the channel types that you need. Channel types can be mixed and matched in any combination. BioReport provides the flexibility needed to help you complete the type of studies you want to do.

Channel Type Generated Trends In addition to these standard channel types, BioReport also gives you the ability to use Serial devices. If you use one the listed devices, BioReport can trend that device’s parameters either by themselves or in conjunction with Modular’s data acquisition hardware or National Instrument’s data acquisition hardware. If you don’t see your specific serial device listed, allow our System Solutions team to provide the interface.
