Data Viewers - VetScan i-STAT 1 Operator's Manual

Changing a Password
If a user logged on to the CDS application, they can choose to change their password at any time by click-
ing Tools > Change Password. A dialog box prompts them to enter their Old Password, as well as their
New Password (twice). After entering this information, the user clicks OK and answers Yes when
prompted.
System Logoffs
The CDS provides the capability for manual and automatic user logoffs. In the logged off state, the major-
ity of CDS screens and functions are not available.
Manual Logoff
Once a user has completed the CDS tasks, they can log off by clicking System > Log Off. A dialog then
shows that the current user has logged off.
Automatic Logoff
Automatic logoffs are optional and can be enabled in the i-STAT CDS Customization screen: see "Secu-
rity" on page CDS-7.

Data Viewers

Data from instruments downloaded to the CDS are viewed in the Data Viewers.
Data downloaded from the VetScan i-STAT 1 can be viewed in separate
Data Viewers for Results, QC Codes, Simulator, Unsent Results, Control
Results, Calibration Verification Results and Proficiency Results.
Data from the PCx Glucose Test Strips can also be viewed in the Data
Viewers.
Information in Data Viewers
Data for only one method at a time, such as i-STAT car-
tridges, is displayed in a viewer. To switch to a different
method, select the method from the selection list in the
lower left corner of the viewer. The exception is the Unsent
Results Data Viewer which displays results from all meth-
ods. Records are listed based on which column is being
sorted. Data can be displayed in ascending or descending
order by clicking a column.
Refreshing the Data
Data is received continuously by the CDS. Updating the viewers with the continuous incoming stream of
data would make viewing the data difficult. Therefore, new data is not added to a viewer until the Refresh
button is pressed. The window can also be refreshed by pressing F5 or selecting Refresh from the Window
option menu on the menu bar. The date and time of the latest refresh are listed on the bottom right of the
window.
