1
Operating System (Windows XP)
The software can be run under the Operative system Win XP Professional (English) - SP2

2
External Barcode Reader (for reagents)
The BarCode Reader (Type: “Hand held”) must be connected to the port of the computer
keyboard (“PS2 emulation). Further, it must interface the same keyboard being able to
connect it to an additional connector included with the BarCode Reader.
Whenever the user wishes to use the BarCode Reader, the “Reagent BarCode” option
must be checked into the “Options” form.

Use of the Bar Code Reader


Form: “Reagent Configuration”
To access the Reagents Configuration form, first select the Check from Menu and then,
from the options offered, click on “Reagent Config.”.
The following form appears:

Doc Rev.02 Page 3 of 43


LIASYS SW 2.0.0 New Features

by simple clicking with the mouse on the acronym of the reagent (for example on Glu),
the following dialog box will automatically open

containing the below-listed fields:

Barcode: numerical string (min. number of digit “6”; max. number of digit “13”).

Reagent ID: reagent identification number.

Reagent Bottle: reagent identification bottle (“2” correspondes to 10 ml; “5 corresponds


to 35 ml).

Doc Rev.02 Page 4 of 43


LIASYS SW 2.0.0 New Features

Reagent Type: reagent identification type.

Exp. Date (MMYY): reagent expiration date (no mandatory)

Lot Number: reagent lot number (no mandatory).

In this form the user can read data through Bar Code Reader (or edit data through
keyboard).
The value introduced into the “Reagent ID” will be matched with the “Rgt. Code” value set
up for the reagent in the currently – in – use method. If they match the “Lot Number” will
be automatically saved for the reagent in the currently-in-use method otherwise, a visual
text message appears, allowing the user to insert again the data or to annul the current
operation (“Exit” button).
To confirm the data read/inserted, click on “Save”.
As the user click on “Save”, the “Lot Number” will be automatically saved for the reagent
in the currently-in-use method.

 Check of the reagent expiration date.


As the user click on “Start” button (from System Monitor”), whenever there is an expired
reagent, a visual text message appears (Warning message). This message allows the
user to start running or to annul the scheduled operation. However, the results of tests
carried out with <Expired Reagents> will be flagged.

Note 1:
Save the “Reagent ID” in the Database is only allowed to the user that has the permission
to Save “Methods” and “Reagent BarCode” [permission set up from the Administrator in
the “User Profile” form].

Note 2:
Form: “Reagents Configuration”
The reagent-data read through Bar Code Reader will be automatically saved in the relative
“Reagent Rack Configurations”.

Note 3:
Form: “Chemistry Definition – section “Parameters”
Whenever the user change/modify the reagent code (see “Dil/Rgt Cod” field), the
pertinent method will be eliminated from the Reagent Plate Configuration and the
correspondent “Reagent ID” zeroed.

Translation of the Software directly from the distributor.
Translation of the software through an external file to an executable one with translatable
strings.
It is mandatory to use the Local Operative System to translate the software.

The application that allows the distributor to translate the strings of the software is named
“String Translator Tool 1.3.0”; this is located into the “Analyzer 200” folder.

The user can start the strings translation by simply double clicking with the left side of the
mouse on the “String Translator Tool 1.3.0” program. Once the application starts, the
following form appears:

The form contains the following sections and buttons:

APPENDIX
This appendix explains some “New Features” introduced with the Release 2.0 but not
mentioned in the document “Doc. Rev 05 del 16-02-2006”:

 Cuvettes: Consecutive dispensing

1. To guarantee an homogeneous usage of reaction cuvette, at any run, the system


will use the first available cuvette after the last used on the previous run.
Only at the first start of the system and at any bootstrap of the program, the
system will use the first cuvette of the Reaction Plate.

 Rerun When Over (for prediluted methods)

“Chemistry Definition” form.

1. Option to repeat the test if the result is out of the linearity limit (result > of the “Lin.
Limit High” value).

The system repeats* the test on the sample until the result does not fall into the linearity
range.

* In accordance with the dilution ratio set up (see “Rerun when Over” field) in the
method, the system goes on to carry out the test by using as sample its previous point.
The repetition can be performed at the most “5” times.

Doc Rev.02 Page 38 of 43

preparation of each single point of the calibration curve.

 Standard Master associated to a methods requiring predilution

1. Standard “Master” and “Prediluted” field not selected (Form: “Calibrators”)

Only the cup containing the Standard Master is available in the calibration rack. The
system prepares the individual points of the calibration curve, starting from the Standard
Master. The instrument itself does the preparation of each single point of the calibration
curve in the predilution rack, in accordance with the concentration percentage setup in the
programming of the standard and with the dilution ratio of the method. This type of
preparation is defined as OPTIMIZED, in so far it makes it possible to use a minimum
quantity of the Standard Master.

2. Standard “Master” and “Prediluted” field selected (Form: “Calibrators”)

Only the cup containing the Standard Master is available in the calibration rack. Before
carrying out the calibration of the prediluted method, the instrument prepares the
individual points of the calibration curve, starting from the “Master”.
The instrument itself does the preparation of the single point of the calibration curve in
the predilution rack, in accordance with the percentage setup in the programming of the
standard.

 Execution of Calibration Curves [from StandardMaster] in cycle.

1. The operator can request the preparation of the points of the Calibration Curves in state
of "Running" of the system

 Excecution of methods with the same predilution and same diluent code.

1. These methods will use the same prediluted sample cup. In case of, missing sample in
a predilution cup, a new sample predilution cup will be prepared.

 Cuvette Dispensing (after system stand by)

1. To guarantee an homogeneous usage of reaction cuvetts, at any run, the system will
use the first available cuvette after the last used on the previous run.
Only at the first start of the system and at any bootstrap of the program, the system will
use the first cuvette of the Reaction Plate.
