36 ADVIA 2400 Operator’s Guide
Software Overview
This section of the manual describes the software windows available to configure and run
your chemistry system. It does not explain how to use these windows. For detailed
information on the use of the windows, refer to the online Operator’s Guide.
The software controls most of the functions run by the chemistry system. The software,
which runs under the Windows operating system, starts automatically when you turn on
the PC.
You start the software from the Startup window, and stop it from the Menu Panel.
After the software has started, the Menu Panel and the Operation Panel appear at the top
of your screen.
As long as the software is running, these windows remain in the same position (unlike
most Windows XP windows). Use the top display option (Systems(s)) to allow other
windows to display on top of the Menu Panel and Operation Panel.

window when you stop the system.
