User Interface - SensLab Lactate Scout Assistant Quick Start Manual

4. USER INTERFACE

Launching the Lactate Scout Assistant (by double click on the desktop icon or
selecting from the Start menu), a new blank application window will appear
without any data. At the beginning, please make
familiar with the essential control elements and
display areas of the user interface:
As usual for Windows applications, a menu bar
is placed at the top for access to frequently used
operations. Essential functions (as „new file",
„open", „save" and „print" etc.) are additionally
available as control symbols below.
T
The biggest part is taken by the graphic
display, where the lactate curves and other
elements will be draft. Clicking in the check
box on the right side, the display of separa-
te parameters can be switched on or off.
Below this area, sometimes a red box with
problem reports (e.g. „curve cannot be ap-
proximated") or special notes for required
data entries will appear (e.g. „Please import
data from Lactate Scout or open existing
LSA-file": This message will usually appear
while launching the software).
To get in touch with the main functions,
open the sample file „example.lsa" by menu „File/open". Within this func-
tion you can also open existing lsa-files for editing their data. For data trans-
fer from the device, the Lactate Scout must be switched on and connected
to the PC: Clicking the button „Receive data", the Lactate Scout Assistant
checks all data ports automatically, to load data from the connected device.
Please note, all Lactate Scout devices have an unique, internally stored ID:
To avoid data conflicts by using different devices, you can open, view and
edit the data from one device in one window only (no merging of data).
Now the data will be shown in a new application window, listed in the
directory in the left corner („test list"). The latest readings are at the top,
structured in columns: Selection, type of measurement (single „M", step
test „S"), ID (unlimited registration number of data set), storage place in
device memory (1 - 250), date, test type and display (curve L1 or L2).
