• The screen displays result values in yellow while analysis is in progress.
Preliminary results are not displayed if the system is performing additional
calibrations during analysis.
• The Results screen displays a parameter as gray if a result cannot be reported
because of system problems, such as a parameter that failed QC.
• The Results screen does not display a parameter if you did not enter a required
value, such as the temperature for a temperature corrected value.
• The Results screen displays the following symbols in red.
These symbols display with the results on the screen and in the printed report:
