Overview
Daily operation includes the routine tasks that are required to prepare and monitor
the system, and to analyze samples.
When you switch on the system, it performs several checks to make sure that all
preconditions are met, for example that all covers are closed or that there are cuvettes
available. It then performs self-tests to ensure that all modules function properly.
At the end of the startup phase, the screen is updated to display the current status of
the system.
The following table gives an overview of the tasks you might need to perform during
daily operation.
