Having differentiated tones makes it easier to know if the instrument has completed a batch or needs
attention. In a setting that might have multiple machines, the different tones can help identify them.
Figure 6-38 Alert Tones Screen for Batch Completion and Error Condition
When a batch completes, the alert tone will sound once.
When an error condition occurs, the alert tone will sound and then repeat every few seconds. The
error message window will have a
Silence Alarm button that can be pressed to turn the alarm off.
