Set Clock If the analyzer is customized with a password, the Set Clock function will be password
protected. If a password has not been assigned, pressing the Enter key will display the
time and date screen. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor
to the digit to be changed. Use a number key to change the
digit. Press Enter to accept the changes or Menu to cancel
the changes. An invalid entry, such as 13 for a month, will not
be accepted.
The format of the date on this screen can be customized using
the Central Data Station Customization function, as mm/dd/yy
or dd/mm/yy. The analyzer recognizes years in which February
has 29 days.
The analyzer can be customized using the Central Data Station
to synchronize or update the real time clock to the Central Data
Station's clock at the time of each download. This option eliminates the need to reset
the analyzer's clock at the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time. Otherwise, the
clock must be manually changed for Daylight Savings Time changes.
Transmit Data
Unsent test records are automatically transmitted to the Central Data Station when an
analyzer is placed in a Downloader or Downloader/Recharger. In some cases it may be
desirable to have the capability to retransmit data. The Transmit Data function allows
transmission of data in the following manner:
1 – Most Recent
2 – This Month
3 – Last Month
4 – All
5 – Unsent
Most Recent is the result from the last cartridge tested.
The analyzer can be customized using the Central Data Station
to apply a date range limit to the Transmit All functions.
Auto-transmit is temporarily disabled when the Transmit Data
option is selected to allow the user to control transmission of data.
Utility
The Utility menu can be password protected using the Customization function on the
analyzer or Central Data Station.
