The total number of batches set in the BATCHING section of the Sample Name page will be listed. Here, each
sample can be edited to provide a unique Sample ID and Tag.
• The Play icon will begin the analysis for the individual sample chosen.
• The Repeat Icon will duplicate the Sample ID and Tag, in the case too few samples were chosen in Step
3 and more are needed. The additional sample will be added to the list directly underneath the Sample ID
from which the duplicate icon was chosen.
• The Delete icon will delete any Sample ID in the case that too many were chosen in Step 3, or any other
reason a sample must be removed from the testing process.

At this time, the user can press the box containing the sample weight, and the system will attempt to register
the sample weight.

• If manually inputting the weight, simply type the initial weight that was previously recorded, then press OK
to save the weight.
