1. Select the station carrying the unknown clip - the station is displayed
as having been pressed (wider border) - as e.g. station L34 in ( Fig. 60 ).
2. Press the color button corresponding to the actual color of the clip on
the rack. The color selected will be displayed on the station button
(here: L34).
3. Press CONFIRM to go back to INSTRUMENT STATUS. The color will be
allocated to the station (clip) as selected. If the selected color was al-
ready allocated to a different program, the 3-digit program code of that
program will be shown as well (see also Creating programs
chapter
5.6.1 ). Otherwise, three question marks “???“ will be displayed instead
of a program code.
If the clip color ‘white’ is selected, the instrument will switch
to MANUAL PROGRAM START, where any program can be se-
lected and started (see
chapter 5.8.2 ).
5.6.3 Assigning a clip color
Fig. 63
In this menu, you tell the instrument what color the clips attached to the individual racks
are. You need to be in supervisor mode to assign colors to clips.
Every time the load drawer is closed, the loading
area is scanned for transponder signals coming
from the clips attached to the racks in that area.
• In supervisor mode, the instrument automati-
cally switches from INSTRUMENT STATUS to
CLIP COLOR if an unknown clip code is de-
tected on a rack.
• If in user mode, a message is displayed tell-
ing the user that supervisor mode is required
and asking whether to switch to that mode
(see
chapter 5.8.2 ).
If an unknown clip is detected, proceed as fol-
lows:
