Electronic Record read only file

[Tushar123]

Dear All

I am using ix panel T10A for mitsubishi controller for a pharma application.We can copy record from ix panel to external USB drive in .csv formate. But as we all know that .csv file is editable so i require the file formate read only.
Is it possible or if any other way then i would like to know.

Waiting your reply

Whether or not a file is modifiable has to do with file permissions and the type of media the file is saved to more than anything else. Even PDF files are modifiable if you have the right software and the file is not password protected.

You could look into getting a Scandisk WORM SD card and a USB SD card adapter. I have never used a WORM SD card, but according to SanDisk it is a write once, read many card. That would prevent someone from modifying the csv file.

Dear Mark

I agree that with some software .pdf file formate report can also be changed but it is better than what we get report in .csv file formate.

So is it possible to log report .pdf file

Awaiting your reply

You may be able to find a library that you can use in an iX script to output a pdf file on a Windows CE 6.0 machine. iX does not support that natively.

You can query the database yourself and output the data in some other format. But to output the data into a pdf you would need to find a library that can write that format.
