Instrument Commands
Instrument commands can be used to control functions of DxC and UCTA instrument
components. Instrument commands include:
Home:

Recovers from a motion error
Returns the DxC and/or UCTA to
Standby
from the
Stopped
state
Pause:
Prevents initiation of new or additional tests at the DxC or UCTA
Tests in process are completed
Use to return the system to
Standby
as soon as possible
Shutdown:
Use to reboot or safely shutdown the DxC
Files are safely closed to prevent data corruption (failure to follow recommended
procedure may result in data corruption)
Enable/Disable Modules:
Use to enable/disable an individual MC cup module, the MC ISE, the entire MC
side, the CC Photometer, the LPIA module, the CC lower reagent carousel, or the
entire CC side of the system
All programming for disabled modules is aborted. When a module is disabled the
system will not run, prime, perform diagnostics, or maintenance procedures using
that module
The system may disable modules automatically after certain unrecoverable error
conditions
When a module is enabled, it will automatically prime
Unload All Racks:
Use to unload racks from the DxC sample carousel, the UCTA sample carousel, or
both
Use when the screen displays racks on the Main Screen but the racks are not on
the sample carousel following a system error
