Setting up Calibrations
The Calibrations screen allows you to select the interval when you want a 1-point
calibration run and if you want the system to issue a warning for the pending
calibration.
Setting up the Calibration Interval
You can select a maximum 1-point calibration interval of either 30 or 60 minutes.
The size of the calibration drift may cause a calibration interval that is less than
the chosen maximum.

agency requirements for performing calibrations.

Saving and Restoring System Setup Data
Saving the data to a diskette or CD allows you to create a record of the Setup
options for your system. Use this diskette or CD later to restore the setup options.
If are defining setup options for more than 1 Rapidlab 1200 system with the same
model number, you can use the diskette or CD from the first system to copy the
setup options to your other systems using the Restore option. You can only restore
data to systems with the same model number.
This procedure does not save total cycles, serial number, model number, sample
totals, or any QC, patient, calibration, and cartridge information. The procedure
does save the Rapidlab 1200 system name and IP address defined for a network
connection to a data management system or an LIS. When you restore setup data,
the system copies the name and IP address to the original system but not to other
systems.
