The current mode of operation can be identified by the status of the soft-key which is
inversed whilst in the hold phase.
Hold Reading
Logged Reading:
Logged readings need to be configured and initiated via the ‘Utilities’ menu by pressing
‘Key 6 - Logging’. During configuration the user will be asked to supply an ID, reading
interval and pump run-time.
These parameters are used to control the reading frequency in logging mode. Once
logging mode is activated the instrument will automatically record a reading at every
interval until stopped by the operator or the memory becomes full. Logging is also
suspended temporarily whilst the user is accessing the menu options.
Whilst the logging mode is active both the ‘Pump’ and ‘Store’ key will be deactivated; only
logged readings can be stored.
5.11 Enter ID Codes
ID codes are either created at the time of selection on the analyser or created using the
Analyser Data Manager software and uploaded to the instrument for selection prior to
readings being taken.
The ‘Site’ (top level ID) and ‘ID’ (second level ID) fields refer to the identifier that the
operator gives to a reading set before it is stored. The G200 and G210 allows the operator
to enter up to 16 alpha-numeric characters which are split into two parts (to help manage
the data) called ‘Site’ and ‘ID’ by default. These are entered as two sets of eight alpha-
numeric identifiers by the operator (i.e. typed in). For example, the first part called ‘Site’
can be used to store the name of the building i.e. ‘Warwick’ and the second part called ‘ID’
could be used for location or room where the reading was taken, i.e. ‘A&E1’.
It is possible using Analyser Data Manager to change the name of these fields as displayed
on the instrument from ‘Site’ and ‘ID’ to something else up to seven characters, i.e. ‘ward’
and ‘bed’, depending on the application or typical mode of operation.
