Introduction
Introduction
To operate the Cedex Bio instrument, you use its touchscreen. The design and
functional concept of the touchscreen support you in the way you work.
The following table lists the major items and characteristics of a Cedex Bio screen
and describes their impact on the operation of the instrument.
Screen item Impact on operation
Screen types Distinct screen types make it easy for you to find your way
around the user interface. For example, you immediately
know whether you are on a main screen or whether you are
reading a message.
Screen layout The consistent layout allows you to quickly find the required
information and to locate the various display items.
Buttons Press a button to open and close a screen or to start a func-
tion.
Colors The color of an item on the screen points to its own status or
that of the item it represents.
The "traffic light" color scheme is used:
o
Green: Everything is OK.
o
Yellow: The system is working, but you need to intervene
for it to continue to do so.
o
Red: This item does not work, you need to intervene.
Wizards A wizard denotes a predefined sequence of screens (steps)
that represent a certain task, for example defining an order.
By following the suggested sequence of steps you ensure the
proper execution of the tasks and functions.
With some critical tasks, you need to follow the wizard
exactly, right through to the end. In other cases, you may skip
a step and perform it later.
