Chapter 3
System description
Status and warning displays on the monitor screen
The icon (system reservoir symbol) is responsible for all reservoir
parameters of the system and thus also for the stacker volume (See
chapter 5 for reservoir icon details).
This icon combines two functions:
a) Warning display with ‘traffic light’ function
Green
Stacker contains
≥
15 reaction modules
Yellow
Stacker contains
≤
14 reaction modules .
When the last
level of the stacker is being processed, the message
[Running out of cuvette soon!]
appears on the screen
and an audible signal is heard. The processing of all
reaction modules currently taking place is completed. The
pipetting of new samples is stopped or a new cycle is
prevented from starting if there is no reaction module left
in the stacker
NOTE
In each case, press the icon to check which reservoir is
running out and take countermeasures. There is no loss of
either reagent or data when the analyzer is stopped by a
system reservoir running out
b) Status display
When the icon is pressed, the dialog box [Status Reservoir] shows
the stacker load level in a symbolic display
