Meter Setup
73
The Sel. Res. Storage Mode menu tells the meter what to do when the memory is full.
In case of a full memory, you can choose between:
■ No Result Deletion. This prevents data from being deleted inadvertently, but may (in case
of a full memory) lead to the situation that you cannot perform a new measurement. Fur-
ther measurements will only be possible if stored data are transferred to the data man-
agement system (DMS) or you allow automatic deletion.
■ Del. Oldest Result. Based on the 1st in/1st out principle, the oldest result will be auto-
matically deleted when necessary. This is the only option if the meter is used without a
DMS (i.e. no data will be transferred and archived).
However, you only can select between these two options, if the meter is used together with a
DMS and the Computer connection is enabled. In this case data stored in the meter are flagged,
as soon as they have been transferred to the computer. Now the meter is allowed to delete those
flagged data when necessary, even if you have selected the No Result Deletion option.
The meter memory can store a maximum of 2000 patient tests, 500 liquid controls, and 200
instrument quality controls.
The option No Result Deletion is available only when you are using a DMS. For more details
see “Extended Functionalities”, starting on page 163. If you are not working with a DMS, this
option is set to Del. Oldest Result.
