Dear AMMRL,

Has anyone successfully integrated SpinPilot’s accounting database into their
existing facility billing system?

Since SpinPilot in TopSpin 5 no longer provides a flat file like Inmracct.brief,
I'm looking for advice on the best way to handle this transition. Bruker suggests
using their Python API to pull the data directly. If you have already tackled this:

  *
Have you found a way to smoothly query the database?
  *
Do you have a script that generates a backward-compatible flat file that you
would be willing to share?

Any insights on how you're dealing with this change would be greatly appreciated,
as I know this is going to be an issue for many of our existing accounting packages.

Best,

Ken Sharp-Knott
