PIPETMAN® M
|
USER’S GUIDE
Warning and Error Messages
PIPETMAN M Software verifies the protocol after the addition of each task, or after
modification of a task, to determine whether the volume of the pipette is still within
the volume specifications for that particular PIPETMAN M model. Should the volume
in pipette model fall outside specifications, an error sign
will appear next to the
task that caused this. More details about error are available if you position the mouse
over the error sign. Protocols that contain one or more error signs
may be saved,
however they cannot be transferred to a pipette and cannot be exported.
In certain cases a yellow
warning sign
will appear next to a protocol in
Manage
custom protocols and Transfer custom protocols to pipette. More details about the
warning are available if you position the mouse over the warning sign. Such protocols
may be transferred to a pipette and can be exported. However, executing these
protocols on the pipette repeatedly may cause the pipette to have an error.
Managing Existing Protocols in Manage Custom Protocols
All protocols that have been created are listed in the
Manage custom protocols
window with information on pipette model, date of creation, date of last modification,
person that created the protocol, and person that last modified the protocol.
If a protocol contains a warning or an error, the warning or error icon is displayed.
For each of the protocols listed you can perform the following actions. Simply select
the protocol and click on one of the buttons:
●
View:
view a protocol. No parameters can be changed in the “
View mode”.
●
Edit:
edit a protocol (change the PIPETMAN M model,
rename protocol, add/edit/
remove tasks).
