Warning and Error of Automatic Mapping:

Warning screen:
If the total number of wells mapped exceeds 96 wells, a warning message in the left
figure appears on the screen. The calculation of the total number of mapping wells is as
follows:

(Blanks+Standards+CNs+CWs+CPs+COs+QCs+Calibrators+Sample)*Replicates


The plate mapping is executed normally and the exceeded part is invalidated.

Error screen:
If one or more mapping parameters are over the input range, an error message in the left
figure will appear on the screen.
On the third line of the LCD, the name of the parameter which is out of range and its
input range will appear.

Example: “BLK: 0 – 10”

In case there is more than one error, the first parameter of errors is indicated. By pressing
any key the user returns to the automatic mapping screen.

Example of automatic mapping:

An example of automatic mapping is as below.
