Derived data display adjustment system
View Patent ↗A derived data display adjustment system for a sample analyzer allows user selection of one or more displayed images to be subjected to a derived data calculation process. A derived data user interface is displayed on a display screen in response to user selection of one or more displayed images to enable user selection of a derived data calculation process. A determination is made as to whether or not display of the derived data may be achieved without interfering with other displayed images. If not, a derived data adjustment user interface is displayed to enable a user to select a convenient display location for display of the derived data.
1. A derived data display adjustment system for a sample analyzer having computer which enables user selection of a certain characteristic curve from a plurality of displayed characteristic curves to be subjected to derived numerical data calculation or derived numerical data position adjustment, comprising: a display screen for displaying the plurality of characteristic curves and a plurality of derived numerical data values calculated from the plurality of characteristic curves; means for displaying a derived numerical data calculation user interface on the display screen to enable user selection of a derived numerical data calculation process for calculating a derived numerical data value from one of the characteristic curves when the characteristic curve is selected by the user; means for displaying a derived numerical data adjustment user interface on the display screen to enable user adjustment of a display position of a derived numerical data value when the derived numerical data value is selected by the user; and means for determining whether the derived numerical data calculation process is possible when one of the characteristic curves or one of the derived numerical values is selected by a user to and displaying one of the derived data calculation user interface and the derived data adjustment user interface based on the determination result.
2. A derived data display adjustment system according to claim 1 ; wherein the derived numerical data calculation user interface comprise a cursor displayed on the display screen adjacent to the selected characteristic curve.
3. A derived data display adjustment system according to claim 1 ; wherein the derived numerical data adjustment user interface comprises a user-movable display region displayed on the display screen when a derived numerical data value is selected.
