5.2.1 Touch screen calibration
When touch screen calibration is required?
The instrument’s touch screen is properly calibrated in the factory. However it
may be necessary to recalibrate the touch screen. If you go to touch a particular
button of the screen and nothing happens, or another menu pops up, your touch
screen is not calibrated correctly.
How to calibrate the touch screen of the Urilyzer 100?
While the instrument starts (during the boot sequence), a progress bar shows the
boot procedure. When the green signs appear, press the display and hold it until
the yellow screen appears to start the calibration process.
To calibrate the touch screen you have to touch the screen at the center of each
crosshair subsequently at each corner and finally the center of the screen.
Background information
Touch screen input devices are actually entirely separate devices from the display
screens that they overlay. As a result, there is no built-in relationship between the
coordinates of a spot on the display screen and the coordinates sensed when
someone touches directly over that spot. Instead, the software for the touch
screen interface must learn which spots on the touch sensor overlay which spots
on the screen. This is called touch screen calibration.
5.3 Data input: Barcode reader, keyboard
External accessories, like keyboard and barcode reader may not only speed up
the sample management process, but the accurate data entry reduces the tran-
scription errors as well.
Using a barcode reader: connect the barcode reader to the PS2 jack or USB
port at the rear side of the instrument. The barcode reader can be used to en-
ter the following information: sample ID, patient ID, QC LOT number, strip LOT
number. Power is supplied by the barcode reader interface. The barcode reader
shall support ALT mode.
Before using the barcode please do not forget to set its interface selection to ALT
mode. The following types were successfully tested with Urilyzer 100:

Using a standard PC-keyboard: Connect the keyboard to the PS/2 jack or USB
port at the rear side of the instrument.
User inputs on the keyboard may not only serve to enter data into sample fields
(i.e. sample ID, patient ID, etc.).
