Recall
At “ Osmo meter Ready ”, the RECALL button provides access (via the
printer and/or serial port, not the display) to the test results and mes-
sages stored in the instrument memory. This feature is particularly use-
ful when the printer tape of the required informa tion is not available for
any reason.
The information is stored in serial groups called runs, a “run” being all
of the results and messages stored from the point when a cassette is
inserted and the START button is pressed, to the point when no more
cas settes or STAT samples are inserted and the instrument reverts to the
standby mode and displays “ Osmometer Ready ”.
When the recall button is pressed at “ Osmometer Ready ”,
“ Recall 1 Run ” is displayed. Only the results from the last run are
available if barcoding has been selected, but if barcoding was not
selected, the operator may either recall the last run accomplished or
may select up to 9 runs by means of the numeric keypad or the < or
> button. When more than one run is selected, the output runs will be
sequential, ending with the last run accomplished.
NOTE If the tests to be recalled were run with either batch number-
ing or bar code scan ning enabled, the same mode must be
enabled during RECALL for the recalled results to be valid.
