When validating results one can either use the “1” key or
the “A” key. I’ve always used the “1” key. But if results haven’t yet
transmitted from the analyser to the host computer…..

and if one is “trigger-happy”
the “1” will go into a result slot. And because it’s a number will be accepted.
I’d like to think I’ve always spotted any such error and corrected it, but it
is a possibility for error.
A colleague pointed out that if I use the “A” key this
potential for error is eliminated as the “A” won’t be accepted as a potential
result.
So simple its brilliant!!
