When the workstation is used without an instrument (i.e. running in demo mode), the status
bar includes the text “DEMO”. When Wallac 1420 workstation is connected to an
instrument (running in normal mode), the demo mode indicator is blank. You can switch
between normal and demo modes using the Options selection in the
Tools menu.
Live display
The Live display shows you the live results in the form of a plate map with colour coding
to indicate the size of the results. If you move the cursor on to a well that has been
measured, the numerical value will appear. At the bottom of the window there is
information about the sample being measured including its current value.
Note: in multiple label, scanning and kinetics measurements, only results from the first
measurement of the label are visible in the Live display. You can see results from all labels
in the Latest results display which you can get by clicking the
Latest assay run icon.
