Writing Configuration Data to an Instrument
After configuration data have been modified and saved, the data from the configuration file (or any other saved
configuration file) can be downloaded to a HEMOCHRON Signature Elite instrument.
To Write Configuration Data to an Instrument:
1. (If needed) Connect the instrument to the PC (see page 25).
2. (If needed) Start HEMOCHRON Configuration Manager and select the configuration file that is to
be downloaded (see page 52).
3. Click the Clone Instrument button on the Configuration Module dialog box (page 53) to display the
Clear Instrument Counts dialog box:
Note: The Clear Instrument Counts dialog box allows the user to specify whether failure counts
and 911 use counts will be reset on cloning and to synchronize the instrument time and date
with the PC time and date when using the POCT-1A communication protocol.
4. Click OK to continue.
5. The Write Configuration dialog box is displayed:
6. Establish communication to the instrument as described on pages 46 and 47.
Note: If the instrument is connected over a network, select <Listen on Network> from the
drop-down list in the Connect via box. Otherwise, if prompted, designate the COM port by
selecting it from the drop-down list.
7. Click Start. Progress information is displayed in the status line.
Note: If the ITC proprietary communication protocol is used, Transferring Data is displayed on
the connected HEMOCHRON Signature Elite instrument during data transfer. If the connection is
not made, an error message is displayed on the personal computer. Select Retry on the error
message box to make the connection.
Note: If the POCT-1A communication protocol is used, specific messages indicate the progress of
data transfer. If the connection is not made, the instrument will beep, display Network Timed
Out!, and prompt that the instrument is ready to accept a cuvette.
