The cells for which variable references are associated are formatted according to the current settings for the selected variable in System Setup, Edit/View Variables.  The number of decimal places, the type of variable and whether or not to accept "<", ">", and "ND" entries are all fields which can change format settings of a cell that stores data into a variable.  Each time a form is loaded for data entry, these settings are changed based on their current values.

Variable Type: Displays the Variable Type of the selected variable.

Decimal Places:  Displays the current setting for the number of decimal places for the selected variable.

The Sample Info tab allows Lab Cal Users to setup cells to allow users to enter sample and analysis data.  For example, along with the result, users can enter Analysis Start and End Times instead of using the Lab Cal Close/Edit Sample Form.  The following Lab Cal Fields can be located:

RECEIVED_BY: Sets the person who received the sample in the Lab.
