Note : Depending on the time frame for unloading/loading of plates, the drawer opening might be
delayed some time to finalize current movement steps.
Aborting a run

If needed, a run can be stopped at any time. You can either abort all running plates or only
the single running plates. To abort all runs on all plates, tap
Stop all . Tap OK in the
confirmation dialog box to proceed.

To abort a single plate, tap the Stop Run icon on its pane. All aborted plates return to
their loading position on the tray.

To unload the plates from the instrument, tap Eject .
Aborting a plate during the priming/rolling step renders it unusable and the plate cannot be used
and run again. A plate that has been aborted during the Thermocycling or Imaging step can be
used again. To rerun the plate, configure a run with only the remaining steps. See section Rerunning
a plate for more information.
Note : A run cannot be stopped during barcode scanning or when one or more trays are ejected.
Note : If the Eject button is tapped or the physical eject button on the instrument is pressed
before the plate is returned to the tray, a warning message is displayed on the screen, and the tray
is not ejected.
Rerunning a plate
If a plate failed or was aborted during the Thermocycling or Imaging step, it can be run again after
adding new cycling or imaging steps. You can add the steps either through the instrument’s plate
configurator or in the Software Suite. To add steps using the built-in plate configurator, follow the
steps in Plate configuration procedure. If you want to use the Software Suite, refer to section Setting
up an experiment.
