■ Monitor refresh: The status reports in the Download and Interface Monitors are updated after
the period of inactivity specified.
■ Maximum diagnostic files: Diagnostic files contain information that can be useful in trouble-
shooting cartridge problems. The default number is 100 and is changed at the request of a Tech-
nical Support Representative.
■ Data Viewers: Selecting Save method selection on exit causes each Data Viewer to save the
method currently selected when the viewer is closed or the Exit button clicked. The next time the
viewer or CDS software is opened, the saved method will be displayed. When Manually choose
method before viewer opening is selected, the user is prompted to choose a method before a
data viewer is opened.

selected location at the time of day entered. Should there be a malfunction resulting in the cor-
ruption of the database, a Technical Support representative may be able to retrieve the lost data
from the backup copy. Each backup replaces the previous one. Backup time depends on the size
of the database but usually does not take longer than 15 minutes.
■ Results Viewer: Enables user to include/exclude the patient name from the trend display or
printout in the Results Viewer. The default setting is to include the patient name.
■ Enabling the Precision PCx Method: Disabled by default.

Security

The security features allow for the creation of security profiles provid-
ing different levels of access to various areas and functions of the CDS
application. Individual users can then be assigned to a security profile,
and then choose their own individual CDS log-on password. The sys-
tem also has capabilities for manual and automatic logoffs.
The security features should only be activated by the administrator of
the System; i.e. the person ultimately in charge of the CDS who will be
creating the security profiles and assigning users to them.
Activate the security features as follows:
Check the Enable Security box.
