Figure 3 Screen Components
Some options require that you enter information. If selected, a numeric keypad
or an alphanumeric keypad displays. An onboard barcode reader is included
and reads only barcodes of DCA
™
cartridges and calibration cards. You can
use the optional external barcode reader to enter and edit certain patient and
control information, as described in Appendix F, External Barcode Reader.
NOTE: The DCA Vantage system does not support the connection of an
external computer keyboard or a mouse to enter data.
Refer to Appendix D, Symbols, for a complete list of key symbols used on the
DCA Vantage system.
Power Save
When the system is not in use for more than 30 minutes, Power Save
automatically turns on. The system checks to ensure that no tests are in
progress and data is not being imported or exported before entering power
save. Touch the screen, open a cartridge compartment door or use the internal
barcode scanner to resume operations.
