13.14 Reaction time
In the "Reaction time" menu, you can decide whether the instrument will wait for the strips
reaction time before starting a measurement. By default, the reaction time is enabled. The
reaction time is then shown as a progress bar once the strip is placed on the strip holder.
If you disable the reaction time, the instrument draws the strip into the housing immediately
and starts the measurement irrespective of the strip's individual reaction time. Hence, you
need to place the strip onto the strip holder as soon as the reaction time has run out. In such a
way, you can potentially generate a higher strip throughput.
To activate / deactivate the reaction time, press the respective choice button in the option field
