Number of Calibrators
If no calibrators are used, type 0.
A linear math model allows no more than two calibrators.
A non-linear math model requires five or more calibrators.
If two or more calibrators are used, span values are shown. If five or more calibrators
are used, recovery and sensitivity statistics are also shown.
Table 9.11
Calibrator Values
The values must be entered in the same units as specified in the Units parameter. Type
the values for the number of calibrators stated above in ascending order (low to high).
This will facilitate proper placement of the calibration samples on the rack, since the
load list does not denote the cup order of the user-defined calibrators. All other values
will be disregarded.
Table 9.12
Calibration Time Limit
Calibration time limit is the number of hours the chemistry can be run before
recalibration is required. If this time is exceeded, the chemistry cannot be run. This
parameter is not applicable if the number of calibrators is zero. (Refer to
Reagent Load/Calibration
If the UDR is removed from the instrument, calibration will be lost.
