Open MegaUploadatron2 (MUT2) on the laptop desktop.
MUT2 will look for certain files or file types in C:\DATA\IN, make sure all data is placed in this folder. For the pXRF results, MUT2 will look for a .tsv file and use the date and time of each sample to determine if new samples need uploading. To upload a sample, MUT2 will also require an associated .pdz file (that matches the File #). The 'Results.csv' will be uploaded with each sample if present as well. MUT2 will indicate with a green check if all associated files are as it expects and that the data is ready for upload based on this criteria (Fig 19). If the 'GeoExploration.tsv' file has a purple question mark for the status, it may be because the files it is looking for are not present (the associated .pdz files) within the DATA\IN folder. The 'Misc' column indicates there are new measurements that have not been uploaded. Check the box for the file to be uploaded. Multiple .tsv files can be uploaded at the same time as long as they do not include identical sample measurements and/or identical .pdz file names. Select 'Upload' in the bottom right corner.

Once 'Upload' is selected, a Pre-upload Form will appear (Fig. 20). Each line is an individual sample measurement. Individual lines can be checked or unchecked, depending on whether this data should be uploaded (Fig. 20, Left). All sample data should be uploaded. To the far right of the pre-upload form is the sample information entered before the measurement (Fig 20, Right)

If the File #s have been reset, there will be identically numbered .pdz files within the expedition dataset. MUT2 will not be able to handle this. After uploading, move the data files into a folder within C:\Data\IN named for the date of upload so that MUT2 will not be confused if there are repeating file names.
On the laptop, MUT2 will already be configured for use. However, if something is not working, there are a few things to check. If files are not listed, check the upload directory. Under 'Options' in the program menu bar, select 'Set Upload Directories...' (Fig 21) and the DATA\IN folder should be listed (Fig 22). In this window, the bottom portion also allows you to nominate files to not display in MUT2, even when they are required for upload. Because each measurement creates an individual .pdz file, this becomes a lot of files for MUT2 to keep checking every 5 seconds and causes problems. Under 'Set active analyses...', be sure that the 'Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis' is set as the 'Active Analyses' (Fig. 23).

To examine the settings of the analysis, click once on 'Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis' and then select the settings icon 
that appears. A window will appear below this icon detailing the parameters the analysis is looking for (Fig. 24). If any changes need to be made to file types or editable fields, this can be adjusted here, however, it is strongly advised to have Developer assistance.

!!! Clearing data from the internal memory and USB!!!
...
Do not perform this action until the data to be deleted has been copied to 'data1' AND uploaded to LIMS!
To There are 2 ways to clear data files from the device. The first way to clear the internal memory of the device , is to select 
from the main display screen select , then 
. Select the 'Delete' option along the top (Fig. 1925, Green Box). To keep the run numbers consecutive through the expedition, deselect the 'Reset Assay filename counter' option (Fig. 1925, Purple Box). At the end of the expedition, leave this option selected and the run number (the same as the file number), will revert back to '1'. Then select 
.

The files can also be deleted in second way to clear data files from the device is by using Bruker Instrument Tools using and logging in as the Supervisor log in. In the program menu bar, select 'Tools' and 'Login' (Fig. 2026). A smaller log in window will appear. The password is root123 and and select 'OK' (Fig. 2127).

In both the 'Bruker' and 'Archive' folder are , there is the 'Data' folders folder (Fig. 14), which can be accessed by double clicking the folder. Once inside the 'Data' folder, highlight all the files, right click with the mouse and select 'Delete' (Fig. 22). . 28). With this method, the 'File #' (Run #) is not reset.

With both methods, to completely remove the files from the device, power the device off and back on again. This will clear the 'Temp' and 'Recycled' folders of any copies of the data.
Additionally, it is important to keep the number of files in the Data folder of the USB low as well. This should also be done each time the internal memory is cleared. The safest way to do this is to remove the USB from the Tracer and plug it into a USB port on the laptop. Navigate to the 'Data' folder and remove or delete all files inside the folder, but leave the 'Data' folder in place. Return the USB to the Tracer's USB-A port.
...
In the screen that displays (Fig. 2029), change the date by selecting on year, month and the numerical day. The time can be changed by using the selecting the hour, minute, second and AM/PM and using the small arrows to the right of the box to adjust the number. Please set the device to UTC time (NOT the same as ship operation time). If unsure what UTC time is, check the time on the nearest lab computer.
Once the correct date and time is shown (as close as possible), select ‘Apply’ and then ‘OK’ to exit the screen.
