2.5.2 Analyzer Setup Questions

Does the VS2 require calibration?
No. Unlike any other system, the VS2 reagents are factory-calibrated. Determined by Abaxis
quality control methods within the factory, calibration factors provide mathematical adjust-
ments interpreted by the analyzer from the rotor's barcode to correct for lot to lot reagent vari-
ations.

Does the VS2 need surge protection or an uninterruptable power supply?
Abaxis recommends plugging the VS2 into a surge protector designed for use with a computer.
Abaxis also recommends using an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) in areas prone to elec-
trical surges or power outages.

Can I connect the VS2 to an external computer?
Yes. Sample results and status reports can be transmitted to a computer (through a USB or net-
work port). You can use popular terminal emulation software to collect the data from the VS2.
The data is delivered in raw ASCII format, and can easily be converted to text for use in other
applications.
