At the Menu Panel, select Request, then select Test result Monitor.
You can monitor the processing, the sample information, and system statuses at this window:
When the run is complete, the operating mode display becomes END, then returns to READY if you ran the samples from the STT. The system returns to WAIT if you ran samples from the rack handler or lab automation system.
The center of the window resembles the sample tray. The outer ring is the STT tray and the inner ring is the CTT tray. Each tray position is a circle.
As the run continues, the circles containing samples change color. The colors indicate the current status of each sample. The color codes are displayed at the lower left of the window.
Select here for additional information about the color codes.
The button bar at the top of the window displays the Sample Search and Rack or LAS. Sample Info. buttons.
· Select Sample Search to display a dialog box where you can search for sample information by sample number by STT position (tray number and sample position), or by rack/LAS position (rack number and sample position).
The search returns a Sample Information window, showing the sample number, position number, sample status, and the time remaining to complete the analysis of the sample.
· If a rack handler or laboratory automation system (LAS) is in use, select the Rack or LAS. Sample Info. button to display the following sample information in the Rack or LAS. Sample Information window:
¨ Sample barcode number.
¨ Sample status (see the status codes listed on the Test Result Monitor window).
¨ The time remaining to complete the processing of the sample.
NOTE
If processing has completed or if no samples are available for processing when you select the Rack or LAS. Sample Info. button, the system displays a message that no sample information is available.
The left side of the Test Result Monitor window displays three panels.
· The System Status panel shows the current operating mode of the system.
· The Sample information panel shows the sample number and sample position of the currently selected position on the STT/CTT graphic. If this is a barcode analysis, the barcode number displays, and the position number is 0-00.
· The code panel shows the color codes used in the STT/CTT graphic to represent sample status.
In the middle of the sample tray display, the tray (TT) number for the current run displays in the TT No. list box. If this is a barcode analysis, the TT number is 0.
To view the status of prior tray samples that are still in process, select the down arrow of the TT No. list box, then select the number of the tray you want to view.
