General Tab
The General Tab lets you specify the settings that determine how you will use and interact
with OneTouch
®
DMS (see Figure 2.10).
When you see this: You can do this:
Look for Meter On Specify the serial port on your PC that you will use
to connect to the meter. If you do not know the
COM port, select Autosearch. OneTouch
®
DMS will
attempt to locate the correct COM port automatically.
If you know the correct COM port, uncheck
Autosearch and select the port (COM1-COM256).
“Autosearch” is the default setting.
Note: Many PCs only have 2 COM ports and your
mouse or internal modem is usually connected to
one of them. Refer to documentation for your PC
for more information on available COM ports.
Show Instructions for Specify if you want OneTouch
®
DMS to display
instructions for these 3 functions that apply to
readings in the meter memory. Select the options
you want to display.
Require name confirmation Specify if you want to confirm the patient name is
correct each time you transfer meter readings to
the OneTouch
®
DMS database.
If you have already transferred readings from a
meter to a patient in the database, the Software
assumes you want to transfer the new readings in
the same meter to the same patient. By requiring
name confirmation, you will have the option of
transferring readings to the same patient, a different
patient, or a Guest patient.
