Analysis System For Analyzing Biological Samples, Data Processing Method And Computer Program Product
First Claim
1. An analysis system for analyzing biological samples comprising:
- at least one analyzer coupled to a respective analyzer control computer, the analyzer control computer comprising an analyzer control application program which receives control data and sends analytical data, the analyzer control application program generates a host screen image, and further comprising a host application program, the at least one analyzer operates to induce a reaction of a biological sample with a reagent and to acquire at least one measurement value being related to the reaction;
a remote computer coupled to the at least one analyzer control computer, the remote computer comprising a data manager application program which sends the control data to the at least one analyzer control computer and receives the analytical data, the data manager application program generates a first window, and further comprising at least one remote application program, the remote application program interoperates with the host application program to generate a second window containing a duplicate of the host screen image;
a user interface program which displays at least a first display window and a second display window, the first display window being one of the first and second windows and the second display window containing a screen shot of the other one of the first and second windows, wherein only the first display window permits entry of user data; and
an input unit to enter a user'"'"'s selection of the first or the second window for displaying as the first display window.

Abstract
Embodiments related to analysis system for analyzing biological samples, a data processing method and a computer program product are disclosed. An analyzer is coupled to an control computer and has a control application program which receives control data, sends analytical data, and generates a host screen image. A remote computer is coupled to the control computer, and provides a data manager application program which sends the control data to the control computer, receives the analytical data, and generates a first window. A remote application program interoperates with a host application program which generates a second window containing a duplicate of the host screen image. A user interface program displays a first display window and a second display window, the first display window being one of the first and second windows and the second display window containing a screen shot of the other one of the first and second windows.
