The two pages of the
WORK LIST
screen are depicted in Figures 5.41 and 5.42. Use
the left and right arrow keys to scroll between the pages.

Sequence #
The sequential number of the Work List entries is displayed in this field. The
Work List holds 600 entries. When the Work List is full, existing entries must
be deleted before additional entries can be made. Work List entries are
automatically deleted as samples are run and “matches” made.
2.
RACK AND TUBE #
The rack and tube number is displayed as xxyy where xx, the rack number, is
any two digit number between 01 and 99 inclusively and yy, the tube number,
is any two digit number between 01 and 10 inclusively.
NOTE:
Rack and tube number can only be entered by the operator at the
instrument, not downloaded from a host.
In the Work List, the cursor skips the <Rack and Tube> field when moving
from entry to entry. The cursor always starts in the <Specimen ID> field. To
place the cursor in the <Rack and Tube> field, the operator must use the left
arrow key to move the cursor from the <Specimen ID> field to the <Rack and
Tube> field.
