The reasons to change study definitions is to
convert:
-
Old trials to a newer format, so additional trial
details can be entered.
-
Convert between standard GDM study definitions
and customized study definitions used by large crop protection
companies.
The overall process is to first Export the
trial to an .EDE (Electronic Data Exchange) file, then import the
.EDE file into different study definitions for the trial.
Export the Trial to .EDE
- Load the ARM trial, then select File, Export Study, then EDE.
- When the EDE Export options window displays, select OK to
proceed.
- Accept the default file name to save, or enter a new name for
the .EDE file.
- Select the GDM30All.tbe EDE definition table to use for export.
- Select OK to confirm today's date.
- Select OK to complete the export.
- ARM display an EDE Export Messages window after export. Press OK
to continue.
Import the .EDE file into ARM, Changing Study Definitions
- Select on File, Import Study, EDE.
- Double-click on the EDE file to import in the Selected Files
window, and select OK to begin importing.
- Choose NO to not use the study definitions listed in EDE file.
This is the most important step.
- Save the trial with a different name than the default, to avoid
overwriting the original trial.
- Choose the study definitions (DEF and FRM) next.
Select the most recent G-All7.def and G-All7.FRM definitions if
converting to standard GDM study definitions, otherwise select the
customized study definitions for appropriate crop protection
company. Select OK after selecting the study definition (DEF), and
select OK again after selecting the site description format (FRM).
