Signature Elite 

instruments so they meet the needs of the laboratory.  

The configuration is performed on a personal computer with installed HEMOCHRON 

Configuration Manager

 

software. The computer is connected to the instrument by means of a COM port or a network connection. The 
personal computer must meet the following minimum requirements: 

•

 

Pentium II 400 MHz or higher microprocessor 

•

 

Hard disk with at least 50 MB of free space  

•

 

At least 128 megabytes (MB) of random-access memory (RAM) 

•

 

Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, or XP (if you are running Windows 2000 or XP, you must have System

•

 

VGA 800x600 or higher resolution supported by Microsoft Windows. 

•

 

At least one available RS-232 serial port (if an instrument is connected directly to the personal 
computer by means of a COM port) 

•

 

A network connection (if an instrument is connected to the personal computer by means of a 
network) 

•

 

CD-ROM drive

4. 

A message will be displayed when the software is successfully loaded. After the message is displayed, 
remove the CD from the computer. 

5. 

Shut down and restart the computer if prompted to do so.

 

Connecting an Instrument   

The HEMOCHRON 

Signature Elite 

instrument that is being configured must be connected to HEMOCHRON 

Configuration Manager

. This can be done using either the COM port or a network connection. 

1. 

Connect the HEMOCHRON 

Signature Elite

 instrument to the personal computer on which 

HEMOCHRON 

Configuration Manager 

is installed, using either the computer interface cable 

included with the instrument or a network interface cable.  

Note

:  If the computer interface cable is used, connect one end of the cable to the computer port 

on  the  side  of  the  instrument  and  the  other  end  to  an  unused  COM  port  on  the  personal 
computer. If a network interface cable is used, connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet port 
on  the  side  of  the  HEMOCHRON  Signature  Elite  instrument  and  the  other  end  to  a  network 
connection port. Refer to page 25 for connection details. 

Note

:  A computer interface cable is included with the instrument and CD, or a separate PCKIT 

(Personal Computer Interface Cable) can be obtained from ITC. Alternatively, the cable can be 
prepared as outlined on page 25.  

Note

:  It is recommended that the instrument is on external power while it is connected to the 

personal computer.  

2. 

Check the instrument Communications menu and verify that the desired communication protocol 
and communication port (NET or COM) are specified (page 21).  

 

Note: 

When the POCT-1A communication protocol is used, HEMOCHRON Configuration Manager 

cannot communicate with the instrument over the COM port.    

3. 

Follow instructions on page 46 for establishing communication.
