Overview
Figure 4-1
pH SAFE Reader Screen and Keypad
From the
pH SAFE Reader
the user observes information displayed on the
LCD screen and manipulates the
pH SAFE Reader
software functions using
the keypad. Additionally, at appropriate times during the testing process, the user
may use the Bar Code Scanner to input platelet storage bag ID and User ID
information if desired.
The LCD screen displays current software function status information and
updates automatically to report: function progress/completion, and response to
input by the user from either the keypad or the Bar Code Scanner.
4.1.1
Power-On Self Check (SELF-CHK)
Whenever power is applied to the instrument using the ON/OFF switch
(located on the right side panel of the instrument, Figure 2-2) the software
executes a startup sequence, the Power-On Self Check (SELF-CHK). This
automatic test completes in 5 seconds. During SELF-CHK the keypad is
inactive. The sequence of the SELF-CHK is as follows:
1. First the LCD screen pixels are exercised. All screen pixels are turned on for
one second. The screen should display two rows of 20 black squares
indicating all pixels are functioning in each character block.
2. Next the LCD screen updates to display the Software Version information
while concurrently the software initializes the internal photometer hardware
components and performs a series of function tests to verify system
performance. (Refer to Appendix A for a full description of the SELF-CHK
test process, SELF-CHK error conditions, and SELF-CHK error recovery
procedures.)
