SYSTEM SOFTWARE SET UP
(See Figure 2-6.)
The System Setup option allows the user to enter site information including the facility name, address
and phone number. It also allows editing of the physician and technologist database, and allows the
system to be set for Simulation or Active mode.
To access system setup, click on <File> in the menu bar, then click on <System Setup>. At this screen, a
check in the box preceding any option means that the option is active. To activate or deactivate any
option, click the mouse on the appropriate option box. Setup options are described below.
MCA Interface
• Simulation Mode: In Simulation mode, the Atomlab 950 will provide mock measuring without
the need for actual activity. This mode allows the user to explore the various screens and
modes of the system.
NOTE: EXITING SIMULATION MODE
When the Atomlab 950 System is turned ON and the MCA box is OFF, the computer prompts you to select
Simulation mode if desired. If you select Simulation mode, the system returns to the desktop. You can then click on
<Start>,
followed
by
<Programs>,
<Biodex
Medical
Systems>,
and
<Atomlab
950
Simulation>
to
enter
Simulation
mode.
To exit Simulation mode, click on the <X> in the upper right corner of the screen to return to the desktop. You can
then turn the MCA box ON and double-click on the Atomlab 950 desktop icon to access the Atomlab 950 Active mode.
• Port: The port listed is for the MCA box connection. The standard configuration has the MCA
box connected to COM 2. The small arrow in the box allows the system to function as a
standard pull-down menu.
• Probe or Well: If your system has only one detector, there should be a check mark next to the
detector only. This will make the detector your only choice on the menu. If you add a detector
at a later time, you will need to access system setup and put a check next to the appropriate
detector to make it available for use.
