A. Transmitting Data Wirelessly following a Test Cycle Using the Test Options Menu

1. When newly generated test results appear on the handheld display, press

2. Press

(Transmit Data). A Waiting to Send message will appear on the display screen.

Note 2.1: If the user has not transmitted results within 120 seconds after the end of a test

cycle, the wireless module will power off to conserve battery power. Then, if a

user initiates a transmission when the radio is off, it will need to power on and

connect to the network prior to transmission.

The State line toward the middle of the screen may display a series of messages as shown

below or indicate that it is connected.

Off: wireless module is off

•

Booting: loading software on wireless module

•

Joining: attempting to join the network

•

Associated: module successfully joined the network, associated with an

•

Access Point, and has been granted permission to communicate

to the network

Connected: connected to the data manager

•

3. Once the Connected state is reached, a Communication in Progress message will appear

at the top of the screen. When this message disappears and the display returns to the

Test Menu, the transmission is successful.

Note 3.1: there are two additional parameters on this page which may aid the users in

troubleshooting and assessing the strength of the wireless transmission signal.

Signal: indicates the strength of signal in one of three terms: Weak, Medium or Strong.

•

Additionally, an actual numeric measurement of the signal is displayed. If users are

obtaining failed transmissions when the signal strength is weak, they should re-attempt

the transmission in a location that provides a signal strength of Medium or Strong.

SNR: (Signal to Noise Ratio): This is a measurement of a difference between the

•

strength of the wireless signal and the background noise level.

Note 3.2: Not all models of i-STAT1 Wireless analyzers report SNR. This item is left

on the screen for software compatability with all i-STAT 1 Wireless

models. When SNR is not reported it will appear as "--dB".

Note 3.3: If there are unsent results remaining in the handheld at the completion

of a transmission attempt, a Communication Ended message will

appear on the handheld indicating how many unsent results are left.
