Adding a new control

From the Controls screen, tap
Add
.
The system prompts you to enter an ID for the
control and displays a keyboard.
2.
Enter the ID.
NOTE:
You can use the keyboard displayed on the
screen, or you can use the barcode scanner on
the front of the
Osmo1 (see Figure 1 on
page 17).
NOTE:
To use the barcode scanner, hold the control
with its label positioned a few inches in front
of the barcode scanner. The scanner reads the
barcode and automatically populates the ID,
and Control Name fields on the Add/Edit
Control screen (Figure 52).
NOTE:
If you manually enter the ID of an Advanced
Instruments control, the system populates the
Control Name field automatically. However,
this feature is case-sensitive. For example, the
system populates the name field with
“Clinitrol 290” for an entry of
3MA029
, but not
for
3ma029
.
