Note: Instruments that do not have In Use checked do not have a download criteria

set back in use and the download criteria is applied.

ria button in the toolbar. Enter the required download interval (up to 1000 hours).
Compliance with the criteria can be observed by checking the Highlight Download Status box
or by going to the Downloader Monitor. Individual Download criteria can be set for each loca-
tion and method pair.
Note: The VetScan i-STAT 1 can also be customized either to warn the end users that
a download is required or to lockout end users if the time for a download has
been reached or exceeded. The download criteria for analyzers and for the
CDS monitor should be selected to make sense.
