Software Functions
The software provides the following functions:
• Controls the mechanical functions of the iChemVELOCITY for
specimen transport and fluid handling.
• Automatically computes chemistry analyte concentrations, specific
gravity, color and clarity results for each specimen and the results
are auto-reported, unless a system flag is present.
• Controls the User Interface
o Generates, prints, and electronically transmits reports.
o Maintains a list of flagged specimens identifying those
requiring further intervention due to missing IDs or other
analytical or processing situations.
The User Interface software is composed of three main screens:
• Instrument screen
• Specimen screen
• Work List screen
