Creating a New Wash Protocol
7. Re-enter the password and press ENTER. The display will read:
Select plate
2: DYNEX_1
Note: The plate name that is shown is an
example. The actual name will be the plate
name that is entered for that plate type during
system configuration (see page 30).
8. Use the up and down scroll keys to select the plate type (or enter
the number using the keypad) to be used and press ENTER. The
display will read:
Variable strips?
YES NO
Note: “Variable Strips” is used to run an
established protocol on fewer strips than
originally specified in the “MOVE” cycle(s) of
an established protocol.
If YES is selected, the operator will be
prompted at run time to specify the number of
strips that are to be washed. Processing will
begin on the first strip selected in the “MOVE”
cycle and will end on the total number of strips
entered at run time (e.g. the protocol states:
“Move 3-12 1 cycle(s)” and at run time, 2
strips are entered, only strips 3 and 4 will be
processed).
9. If YES is selected, the display will read:
Constant timing?
YES NO
Note: If NO is selected for Variable strips?,
the Select option prompt will be displayed
(see below).
Note: The Constant Timing prompt only
appears if you are using Variable Strips.
