CC Uploader
CC Uploader monitors designated hot folders on your computer. When a measurement file appears, it automatically transmits the data to ChromaChecker via SOAP/HTTPS — enabling hands-free data collection from any third-party measurement software.
How It Works
CC Uploader watches one or more input folders for new measurement files. When a file matching the configured filter appears, it is automatically transmitted to ChromaChecker and optionally moved or copied to an output folder with a timestamp-based filename.
Supported File Formats
CC Uploader handles measurement files from all major spectrophotometer software packages:
.xml
.txt
.svf
.csv
.cxf
.mxf
.lxf
Wildcard and regular expression filtering let you target specific filenames within a folder, avoiding accidental uploads of unrelated files.
Key Features
- Hot folder monitoring — watches local or network folders; auto-mounts on network reconnection
- Timestamp renaming — renames uploaded files with an optional prefix and timestamp for traceability
- Input/Output folder management — moves or copies files after upload
- SOAP/HTTPS transmission — encrypted upload on port 443
- Inspector selection — route files to Print Inspector or Instrument Inspector
- IT lock — administrators can lock the interface to prevent operator changes
- Active checkbox — each folder watcher must be activated individually
Requirements
- Mac or Windows 10+
- Stable internet connection
- HTTPS port 443 open for SOAP protocol
