Specifying Continuous POCT-1A Communication
Note: Communication is initiated from the instrument only when the CLSI POCT-1A compliant
communication protocol is used. If the ITC proprietary communication protocol is used,
communication is initiated from a personal computer or network.
1. From the Supervisor menu, press 7 to display the Communications menu:
2. Press 3 to select the desired communication option when the CLSI POCT-1A compliant
communication protocol is used. (Display OFF to initiate communication only if requested, or
display ON to initiate continuous communication whenever the instrument is started.)
Note: Specifying the communication option acts as a toggle. If initiation of communication upon
startup is already specified (Push POCT ON is displayed), this can be cancelled by pressing 3 again
to display Push POCT OFF.
