. Software
. Overview
The Urisys system’s software provides a user interface that enables all laboratory-specific settings and recurrent
functions to be selected via the liquid crystal display and function keys (see Sections . and .).
The three function keys assume the particular function displayed on the second line of the liquid crystal display. The first
line of the display is used for system status and user information.
The user interface is self-explanatory, so that only details of the major functions are presented here.
Pressing the START button within any submenu accepts the chosen instrument state or function, and returns
the system from menu display to Ready-to-Measure status.
The instrument switches from the Ready-to-Measure status or the status displayed, respectively, to the Standby mode after
minutes of function key inactivity. During Standby, the date and time are displayed. Ready-to-Measure status can be
resumed by pressing the START key, except when certain error messages are displayed (see Section ).
