Desk-top computers equipped with 16K memory and programmed in BASIC can be used to produce interpretive reports of selected laboratory data by the assignment of a numerical code. A tetral algorithm is programmed in a three-dimensional matrix, charted by columns designating specific diagnostic considerations for serum electrolyte abnormalities (an adaptation of Dito's coding procedure for protein electrophoresis). The code consists of the numbers 4 (high), 2 (normal), and 1 (low), with no basis for borderline abnormal results. The program is easily updated with additions of diagnostic considerations (column headings) or with additional codes corresponding to such conditions (code listings under column headings). Diagnostic reports can be easily produced by the use of a tractor-feed printer or similarly interfaced printing equipment for use on the patient chart, and file copies are easily generated by a "rerun" loop incorporated into the software.
配备16K内存并采用BASIC语言编程的台式计算机，可通过赋予数字代码来生成选定实验室数据的解释性报告。一种四元算法被编程到一个三维矩阵中，该矩阵按列绘制，这些列指定了血清电解质异常的特定诊断考量因素（改编自迪托用于蛋白质电泳的编码程序）。该代码由数字4（高）、2（正常）和1（低）组成，不存在临界异常结果的依据。通过添加诊断考量因素（列标题）或与这些情况相对应的附加代码（列标题下的代码列表），该程序可以轻松更新。使用连续进纸打印机或类似接口的打印设备可轻松在患者病历上生成诊断报告，并且通过软件中包含的“重新运行”循环可轻松生成文件副本。
