Section 4-Common Module Functions
Show Report (F7)
The user can display the entries comprising the current Sample Report at any time by selecting the ‘Show Report’ button. This function
will enable the Data Viewer software described in section 14. Parameters specific for the individual application modules are populated
for each individual Sample ID. Descriptive parameters specific for the individual application modules are populated for each individual
sample ID
.
Sample ID
The ‘Sample ID’ is highlighted for overtyping or barcode scanning. The user may input a sample ID that will be used to identify the
measurement in a report print and in the archived data file. The sample ID entry is “key focused”, meaning it is the default selection on
the screen and should have a flashing text cursor when the instrument is waiting to make a new measurement.
Sample #
The ‘Sample #’ indicator is activated when a sample report is being recorded. It indicates the sample number of the last sample
processed in the current report and increments with each successive measurement until the sample report is fully populated. The
sample buffer limit can be modified on the report page.
Exit
This command closes all application modules and supporting options. After clicking the ‘Exit’ button, the user has 10 seconds to cancel
the exit command. If no action is taken within 10 seconds, the exit command is carried out. Note: All measurement data is
automatically saved to an archive file and requires no user action.
Show Context Help
Context Help is enabled in the Main Menu, all function modules, and the application modules. The help feature is enabled by choosing
‘Show Context Help’ from the ‘Help’ menu pull down or by selecting ‘Ctrl+H’. Once enabled, placing the cursor on elements of the
screen will automatically generate an explanation of that element. Context Help remains active until deselected.
