Computer
The cobas h 232 meter can connect with a computer or host system running appropriate soft-
ware (that is, a DMS must be installed). To use this connectivity feature, however, you need the
optional Handheld Base Unit or the meter must be configured for wireless communication. If no
wireless communication is configured, the connection is established in two steps.
■ The meter connects to the Handheld Base Unit via infrared.
■ The Handheld Base Unit is either connected to a single computer (via USB) or to a net-
work/host system (via Ethernet).
The option Computer (when activated) can be used together with a DMS to set up:
■ operator lists, or
■ patient lists (lists of patients to be tested)
This eliminates the need for manual entry of these data. In addition, you can transfer test results
stored in the meter to other systems for archiving or further evaluation. The option Computer
controls the meter’s ability to communicate with a computer or a network.
13 From the Select Connection menu, touch

14 Touch to save this setting, or touch

Extended data handling functionality is dependent on the capabilities of the particular Data
Management System (DMS) being used and may vary.
