Run
A cutting run can be selected by either:

(ii) Selecting the Run shortcut button located below the menu bar.
A window will come up confirming the sequence of spots to be cut. You may not wish
to cut all the spots selected during this cutting run. This can be achieved by putting the desired
starting spot number and last spot number in the Start from and To fields respectively of the
Set-up Cut Spot window.
Note: An individual run must consist of a sequential subset of the total spots selected, i.e.
you can not select to cut spots 4 & 6 on an individual run without spot 5 being cut. You also
can not have an individual run cutting spots out of order, i.e. 4, 6, 5 is invalid, would need to
be 4, 5, 6.
Once the spot sequence to be cut has been selected, press the OK button of the Setup Cut
Spot window. When cutting is complete, the Cutting Complete window will be displayed,
select OK to continue.
You may now either make more cuts and or spot selections, or exit the program.
