Step 4: Set System Parameters
Use the Settings icon to set the analyzer’s system parameters.
1. Set the date and time. See Section 5‚ “Changing Date and Time” for details.
Note: Be sure to set the date and time as accurately as possible. The ana-
lyzer uses this information to determine reagent dating when read-
ing the bar-coded rotor before analysis. Inaccurate settings can
cause errors.
2. Set the measurement units to use in results. The analyzer is pre-set to report results in
common units such as mg/dL. See Section 5‚ “Selecting Units” for instructions on chang-
ing to SI units such as mmol/L.
The VetScan VS2 is now ready to run samples. See Section 4‚ “Test Procedure and Results” for
instructions.
