1.1.2 Measurement types
 Normal measurement
In the normal measurement mode, samples are measured consecutively. Measurements in this mode are allocated
MEAS No. * * * *. After the measurement number of the first sample is entered, the system automatically increments
the number by one for each subsequent measurement. When measuring another batch after returning to the [Standby
screen] (see the Note below), the system allocates consecutive MEAS Nos. Even when the instrument is switched to
a different operating mode, consecutive MEAS Nos. will be allocated until the instrument is turned OFF.
 STAT measurement
In the STAT measurement mode, the instrument also measures samples consecutively, just as it does in the normal
measurement mode. The instrument can be switched to the STAT measurement mode by pressing
during normal
measurement, when you need to make urgent sample measurements. The measurement mode can be returned to the
normal mode by pressing
after this work is completed. Measurements in this mode are allocated STAT
No. * * * *. After the measurement number of the first STAT sample is entered, the system automatically increments
the STAT measurement number by one for each subsequent measurement. When measuring another batch after
returning to the [Standby screen] (see Note below), the system continuously allocates consecutive STAT Nos. until
the instrument is turned OFF.
 Control measurement
The Control measurement mode is used for the periodical measurement of Controls, to check the accuracy of the
instrument. Controls can be measured consecutively. Measurements in this mode are allocated CONTROL No. * * * *.
 Check measurement
This mode is used to verify that the instrument is working normally. Measurements are made using the special check
strips supplied with the instrument, if you feel that actual sample measurement results are odd or questionable.
NOTE:
One batch is a group of samples that will be measured consecutively (from automatic start or after pressing the
button, until the display returns to the [Standby screen]). This system can measure up to 100 samples as
one batch. (When the number of samples measured exceeds 90, a message appears advising the user to
discard the previously used test strips.) When measuring a group of more than 100 samples consecutively,
divide them into two or more batches.
