Scan Slides
The ‘Scan Slides’ button can be used to activate the ‘Scan Slides’ feature of the ‘Auto Start’ function independently. Note: If this option
is chosen, the ‘Scan Reagents’ feature will not start automatically once slides are scanned. See ‘Scan Reagents’ section of the manual.
Assign Protocols
‘Assign Protocols’ allows the user to manually assign protocols to loaded slide chambers instead of utilizing the ‘Scan Slides’ feature.
To use this feature, first select the position on the software slide map, and if the user would like to run the same protocol in several
positions they may select positions individually or click and drag the mouse over the desired slide positions.
With the desired slide position(s) highlighted, a user must then click on the ‘Assign Protocols’ button. The ‘Select Protocol’ window
will appear. The top of the window gives the user three options to select Protocols: Normal, Negative or All.
Choosing ‘Normal’ displays all existing Protocols in the system but does not display Negative Controls. There is no distinction between
a Protocol and a Positive Control.
Choosing ‘Negative’ displays only Negative Controls for all Protocols in the system.
Choosing ‘All’ displays all existing Protocols in the system as well as all Negative Controls.
A user would then select which Protocol they would like to assign to the position(s) from the available options offered within the ‘Assign
Protocols’ window and repeat this process until all slides are programmed. If the same Protocol is desired in multiple positions, a user
would first select all of the slide positions and then select the Protocol to be assigned to all of the positions.
