5.2 Setup
On the left side of the SECTOR Imager window, users can view and edit the Setup selections for the demonstration plate read ( Figure
5:5 ).
1. Select Read from Bar Code from the Plate Type menu.
2. Select the Return Plates to Input Stack checkbox. If left unchecked, the demonstration plate will be placed in the output stack
on the left side of the SECTOR Imager after reading. Because the demonstration plate will be run as a single plate, it is most
convenient to return it to the input stack after processing.
NOTE: It is very important to select Return Plates to Input Stack checkbox when the stacker cover plate is on the output
stack so that the SECTOR Imager will not attempt to place the plate into the covered interface at the end of the read. (The
SECTOR Imager 2400A has a cover plate permanently installed on the output stack and automatically returns plates to the
input side.)
3. Leave the Apply Kit Layout box unchecked. This option is covered in DISCOVERY WORKBENCH User Guide.
4. Select the Read __ Plate(s) checkbox and enter 1 in the text field.
