The System Administrator form allows the user to create lists for the following fields, for entry into the file header: Manufacturer, Model Numbers, Volume to be Infused (VTBI), Flow Rate, Location, Department, Technician, and Pump Type and Tolerance.  Each of these fields, as well as the Serial Number and Control Number fields, can be tagged as mandatory entries on the header form.

The System Administrator form may be password protected.  When the program is run for the first time, there is no password.  When in the form, the option to create a password is provided.  Once a password exists, it may be changed or removed by the selection of the appropriate command button on the screen.

To create a list of entries for a given field, place the cursor in the field using the tab key or the mouse cursor. Enter a value for the field and then press the Add button. The name will now be available in the pop-down list, and the data entry field will be blank.  Continue adding names to the list of manufacturers. If a manufacturer's name needs to be removed from the list, activate the drop-down list and select the appropriate name.  The name should now appear in the data entry field. Press the Remove button and the name will be removed from the data entry field and the list.  The complete list can be removed by placing the cursor in the blank data entry field and pressing the Clear button.

For each field that MUST be entered, based on the requirements of the institution, check off the Mandatory box for the appropriate field.  When a test is run in real time, or a test download is initiated AND the 'File Save' box is checked on the Download form, the Header Information form will be presented.  The user WILL NOT be able to proceed unless the mandatory fields are entered.  Mandatory field titles will be displayed in bold text as a reminder.  Even if 'Flow Rate' has not been selected as a mandatory field in System Administrator, it becomes a mandatory field during a real time single rate test.  This is required to set up the Y-axis coordinates of the graph.

To save the changes and additions made to the System Administrator form, press the Close button.  To leave the System Administrator without saving any changes or additions, press Cancel.
