7. Appendix
7.A. Configuring the Tablet PC
The GloMax
®
Navigator Tablet PC touch screen allows the user to adjust various operating system configurations
and user settings as described below.
Your IT department or site Administrator should configure the Tablet PC according to the IT rules and IT procedures
pertinent to your institution. The following is a set of guidelines for your IT personnel or site Administrator.
Depending on your institution’s IT policy, you may or may not be able to configure/change the settings for the Tablet
PC. The Tablet is pre-installed with a Microsoft Excel
®
reader, but you may install the full version of Microsoft Office
if you desire. We do not recommend loading other programs onto the Tablet because these may interfere with the
instrument operation.
Note:
Some institutions require anti-virus software installed on PCs within the institution. If installing an
antivirus program please ensure it is set to manual, not automatic, update.
Antivirus software will slow the performance of the Tablet PC and will affect the performance of the GloMax
®
Navigator Instrument while it is measuring samples.
Additional recommendations if using your own PC:
• Disable automatic Windows
®
updates and virus scans
• Disable automatic power off, sleep, or hibernation settings
• Disable “Fast Startup” in Windows
®
8. Set the power button to Shut Down not Sleep.
• Disable any other automatically or manually started software that would consume PC resources during
operation.
• Ensure there are no domain policies that would overwrite any of the above settings.
• Ensure that Windows
®
will not turn off USB ports to save power.
Note:
The Tablet PC that is provided with GloMax
®
Navigator System has already been configured for the settings
listed above.
The first time you use the GloMax
®
Navigator Instrument and Tablet PC you should check the configuration of the
following options. Settings can be changed later if required by following the instructions again.
1.
Touch Screen
The GloMax
®
Navigator Tablet PC has a touch screen that can be used to navigate to the various screens. Touching
and holding an icon on the Tablet for 3 seconds is equivalent to a Right Click on a normal PC.
