Item Values Comment
Working Mode Defines the way in which you select tests during order
definition.
Manual Use this definition if the Cedex Bio analyzer is used
as a stand-alone system.
During order definition, the test selection screen is
displayed, allowing you to select the tests or to make
changes to the selection.
Host Use this definition if the Cedex Bio analyzer is con-
nected to a host computer.
The orders are automatically defined, the test selec-
tion screen is not displayed. After identifying the
sample, you are asked to place the sample.
Sample Barcode On, Off You can work with or without barcodes on sample
tubes. Use Off only if you exclusively work without
barcodes.
If you use On, during order definition you can either
scan the barcode of the sample, or you can choose to
define the sample ID manually using the keyboard.
Order Mode Easy You work with one test panel on the test selection
screen, containing up to 30 tests.
Typical situation for this mode: You work with one
or two reagent disks, manual order identification,
identical sample and order IDs, possibly but not nec-
essarily with host connection.
Full You can work with up to six test tabs on the test selec-
tion screen, each containing up to 25 tests.
Typical situation for this mode: You distribute the
reagents across several (up to eight) reagent disks and
you predominantly work with specific groups of tests.
You also work with a host connection with automatic
order identification and result upload.

pendently of each other.

ID
Order and sample ID are identical.
For a given sample, the same sample ID is used all the
time. A three digit number is appended and automat-
ically increased with each new order.
Examples: 789-001 for the first order, 789-002 for the
second order, and so on.
