Batch registering the odorant information

Tap [Output CSV] (a) to output the CSV file and edit it on a computer.
When the editing is finished, save the CSV file to the tablet, tap [Import CSV] (b), and select the CSV file to load. Follow the on-screen instructions to operate the tablet and tap [Save] to batch register the odorant information.

Perform the operation above when editing registered odorant information.

Hint

If you want to copy and use the same cartridge setting on another tablet, migrate the data to the tablet as follows.

  • Export operation: While displaying the cartridge setting you want to copy, tap [Output CSV]. The CSV file will be saved in the “olfactory_info_yyyymmddhhmmss” folder. If images are registered in the cartridge setting, the image data will also be saved in the “pictures” folder.

    Copy the entire “olfactory_info_yyyymmddhhmmss” folder to the tablet to which you want to migrate the data.

  • Import operation: On the tablet to which you want to migrate the data, tap [Import CSV] on the [Cartridge Settings] screen. Then, select and import the CSV file in the “olfactory_info_yyyymmddhhmmss” folder that you have copied. If there are images in the folder, they will be imported simultaneously.

Note

  • According to the CSV (Comma Separated Values) specifications, the comma (“,”) character cannot be used. If a comma (“,”) is entered, the “Scent Canvas” app will not correctly load the CSV file.
  • If the information is overwritten during registration, the previously registered information is erased.
