Menu selections for State
For slides that are not scanning, commands are available that let you add or remove a slide from
the queue. The selections available for a particular slide vary depending on the location of the
slide in the queue, or if the slide is ready to add to the queue.
Scan Protocol
Displays the scan protocol to use for scanning the selected slide. Available scan protocols include
the default Agilent-supplied scan protocols and any scan protocols that were created or imported.

changes to “Ready” if a protocol is mapped to the slide Design ID. It
changes to “Present” if no protocol is mapped to the slide Design ID.
