Auto dilution adjust
  • Auto dilution adjust
    The Automatic Dilution adjust default setting is: ON.

    This feature automatically corrects the dilution rate. If the dilution rate tends to get too low or too high, it automatically makes a correction to the (manual) "dilution adjust" setting
    In this way long term instability or long term changes will be corrected. The system "looks" to the mean average of the 32 last dilutions to estimate the corrections on the syringe speed calculations.
    If Auto dilution adjust is set to OFF the system works with the number which is set in Dilution adjustment 60 till 140%.
    If Auto dilution adjust is set to ON the software automatically set the Dilution adjustment 60 till 140%.

    Instructions to set-up the Auto dilution adjust
    Set the Auto dilution adjust OFF. Set in Settings - General settings Display dilution ON.
    Run a few representative fresh blood samples of the day and note the dilution rates which are displayed at the status line.
    Add the found dilution rate and take the average. By entering the percentage deviation, a correction value can be made.

    Example: If the average dilution rate is 92%, enter 108 in order to correct to a 100% dilution rate.
    If no input is given, a warning <Out of range> is displayed.

Note: Use only recent samples (<12 hours), otherwise the software settings will not be representative.

  • Set the average dilution rate in Dilution adjust 60%…140%
  • Run more samples, to inspect the dilution rate again
  • If the dilution rates are in expectation, continue to the following steps
  • Set Auto dilution adjust ON
  • Run a few more samples to inspect the dilution rate again
