6. Operation and user guidance
The instrument is designed for easy and intuitive use. Neverthe-
less, read the following paragraphs carefully to familiarize your -
self with the instrument’s functions and user guidance.
6.1. Touch screen
All operations are carried out with a touch-sensitive screen. An
external keyboard can be connected via the PS/2 interface (see
Connection of external devices, chapter 15) .
Note: Do not touch the touch screen with pointed or hard items.
6.2. Operating the user-interface
Please note some basic rules for operating the instrument’s
user-interface:
• All menu items that you can access are framed in blue. That
means, only buttons with a blue frame can be opened, edited
or activated by touch. Depending on the button, a new menu
opens up, or the respective activity is carried out.
• Entries in large, blue font can be accessed directly. They can be
edited via the input-menu
abc
.
• Entries in small, black font cannot be changed.
Your options to access functions can be sub-divided into three
categories:
6.2.1. Activity-buttons
Blue-framed activity buttons include a symbol / inscription and
trigger a certain activity. The following symbols are used:
– escape
– confirm
– print information
– enter additional sediment information
– send data to a connected PC / LIS
– scroll in a list up / down
– browse from one screen / entry to another
6.2.2. Option-fields
Option-fields consist of blue-framed choice buttons. Choice-but -
tons are circles. If a choice-button is active, it is filled with blue.
Within an option field, only one choice-button can be active.

Touch a choice-button to activate it. Press to confirm and
save your changes. If you leave menus that include option-fields
by pressing , none of your choices will be adopted.
6.2.3. Edit-buttons
Edit-buttons have blue frames and enable you to enter informa-
tion, e.g. patient ID or sequence no. Sometimes, edit-buttons al -
ready include information. In this case, the font is large and blue,
thus indicating the possibility to edit the information. To edit / en-
ter information, press the button. An input-menu with alphanu -
meric input-buttons appears. By touching the numbers / letters in
the input-menu, you can enter information into the edit-button.
6.2.4. Input-menu
The input-menu
abc
appears whenever you want to make
an entry. Above the input-buttons you will find a window which
shows your new entry.
You can enter upper case letters, lower case letters or numbers.
To switch between the options, press the button that shows the
desired form of entry (abc / ABC / 123). Initially, the instrument
is opting for capital letters. Once you make a change, the instru -
ment remembers your last choice. If you open the input-menu
abc
again, the former choice is still active.
For new entries touch a letter / number. To enter a different let-
ter / number than the first one on the button, press the button
repeatedly.

6.3. Stand-by Mode
After 10 Minutes without any operation the device goes into
stand-by mode and the screen saver appears. By pressing the
touch screen you can activate the system again and get directly
to the start screen.
Note: If the device is activated from the stand-by mode, it will
always go to the start screen. Any changes in menus or changes
in settings that have not been saved before the instrument went
into stand-by mode will be lost.
