System description
3.2 Analyzer
The MAGLUMI
®
Analyzer is a fully automatic system, whose
operation is timed in cycles. A differentiation is made between the
machine cycle (duration of the processing of a reaction module) and
the microcycle (1 machine cycle corresponds to 7 microcycles).
The bottom bar on the screen shows the cycle that the analyzer has
currently reached (e.g.
66:4
= machine cycle 66, microcycle 4) and
the analyzer status. Some displays that describe the analyzer status
are for example:
·
Active
Analyzer active. Tests are being processed.
·
Halted
Analyzer inactive. This condition is reached
automatically in the event of a mechanical fault,
or
by the user pressing the
[STOP]
button.
·
Priming
Analyzer fluidic systems are being flushed.
·
Finished
All actions are ended.
