Final preparations
The status indicator of the Accu-Chek Smart Pix device
starts flashing as soon as the device is connected to a
computer which is switched on. There are several different
status indicator signals which indicate various operating
states (see page 1-5). After plugging in the Accu-Chek
Smart Pix device or after switching on the computer the
following occurrences indicate that the device is operating
properly:
•
The dots at the top and bottom of the status indicator
flash slowly (about once a second). This indicates that
the device is ready for operation and that it is actively
searching for meters and insulin pumps.
•
Windows (XP) automatically opens a window showing
the contents of the removable disk (
SmartPix
) as a
folder.
•
If this does not happen (e.g. in the case of Windows
2000), open the window
My Computer
with a double
click. You will now see
SmartPix
as a removable disk.
•
Double-click on
SmartPix
(removable disk) in order to
display the contents. You will now see a folder named
REPORT
, the
START.HTM
file and, if applicable, other
files and folders.
If you can follow the above procedure on your computer, the
Accu-Chek Smart Pix system is ready to read data from a
meter or an insulin pump. However, you should first perform
the configuration described below in order to customise the
reports properly.
If you have not been able to complete this brief check
successfully (e.g. if the
removable disk
is not shown), see
Chapter 5 for information about possible sources of error.
