2.1.3. HOME POSITION CALIBRATION In this test the selected Motor executes a complete movement and the Home offset can be adjusted to align it perfectly to its home position. This menu is very important to set the Home position of the Reading Unit. If the Motor or the Home Optical Sensor have been dismounted or replaced a new Home Position Setting is needed.
2.1.4.1 TOUCH PANEL CALIBRATION To enter the Touch panel calibration proceed as follow: a. Power off the Unit b. Press the Touch panel and power on the unit keeping the Touch panel pressed, until the Touch Calibration page appears on the display. c.
2.1.4.6 HOME SENSOR TEST This test report the status of the Home Sensor of the three Motors and the status of the caver microswitch that colud be Obscured (the carriage is in its Home position) Free 23/66 Rev 1.0 13/03/2018...
2.1.4.7 MOTOR TEST In this section each single Motor can be moved 2.1.4.8 SENSOR TUBE TEST By entering in this menu it is possible to set the light levels of the 2 white LEDs emitters (Range 0-100), and read the light level read by the corresponding Light Sensors. LEDS TEST: There are four predefined light levels written in the fileds listed on the upper left side.
2.1.4.9 BARCODE (internal) TEST Press the Barcode ON button to activate the Barcode Reader, then place any barcode label in front of it to check if it’s properly read and printed on the screen. It is also possible to insert sample’s tubes with labels in the sample plate and manually rotate it I order to test if their barcodes can be read by the reader.

2.1.4.10 STRESS TEST Use this function to stress all the Motors and the Reading Unit. Put some samples tube and close the cover. Press Start once you have set the parameters. The test will perform One Mixing + Plate rotation + Reading Procedure for each cycle. A step loss control and the light level of each sensor is monitored cycle-by-cycle.
2.1.5. READING PARAMETERS (password: 14785) In this menu the parameters used to calculate the blood level and the ESR values are accessibles and may be varied. Pay attention : changing these values may affect the performances of the Instrument. The values below are the default values actually used on the unit.

2.1.6. READING VIEWER (password: 74159) This part of the program displays all graphs of the samples present in the LOG.txt file. As you enter it's showing the latest LOG. File reading. The graphs displayed are those of the last sample of the last cycle. Below the date of the log.txt file (a file log, covers a day), with the right and left arrow keys to scroll forward and backward through the log files.
