| DESCRIPTION | This is an option for entering differential counts in hematology usinga CRT keyboard. It functions very much like an automated instrumentthat is connected to the LSI. The parameters that define what characterson the keyboard represent what portions of the differential are definedin the AUTO INSTRUMENT file under the entry KEYBOARD DIFF. For eachtest there are 3 parameters (PARAM). PARAM 3 is the character on the keyboard that represents that test. For example, if the test SEGS had a PARAM 3 equal to 1, then whenever the character 1 was pressed, a SEG wouldbe added to the total count of SEGS. Tests that occupy internal numbers1-27 in the AUTO INSTRUMENT file at the level CHEM TESTS are used in theentry of the WBC count. WBC count occupies three rows of characters: (1-9),(10-18), (19-27). The keys '-', '!', '?' are reserved functions. If PARAM 2 is equal to 1 for these tests, thenthese tests will be used in the total count of WBC cells.PARAM 2 equal to 2 means that the test is not included in the total count.PARAM 1 is used to change the value of V, which is the value of the testyou are counting or editing. For example, using the previous example,whenever you press 1, you are adding 1 to the total count of SEGS, so thevalue of SEGS (V at this point) is changed to a percentage of total WBCcells counted.RBC Morphology tests are located at internal numbers 31-58 occupying3 rows on the keyboard (31-39), (40-48), (49-58). The backslash '\' is used to display the WBC values.To verify data entered with this option use the EA option.The conditions of reviewing andverifying data entered with this option are the same as any otherautomated instrument. The LOAD/WORK LIST field entries used to testthis option are as follows:NAME: DIFFLOAD TRANSFORM: UNIVERSALTYPE: SEQUENCE/BATCHCUPS PER TRAY: 0FULL TRAY'S ONLY: NOVERIFY BY: ACCESSIONPROFILE: DIFFACCESSION AREA: (whatever is appropriate)TEST: (whatever is appropriate) This option will only work with CRT's that have cursor addressingcapabilities and is VT-100 compatible. |
