Copy & Paste Sample ID data entry options
The VISCPRO

Sample ID data entry screen supports
Copy
and

options.
Copying Sample IDs
To copy a Sample ID entry, including the configuration information,
highlight the desired line(s) from the Sample List Box and right-click your
mouse to access the Sample Action window. Then select
Copy All
Selected Samples
from the menu options. OR you can use the
C-C
key combination.
Pasting Sample IDs
To paste previously copied Sample ID entry information into another tray/
sample location within the same instrument group, highlight the desired
line(s) in the Sample List Box and right-click your mouse to access the
Sample Action window. Then select
Paste Into Selected Samples
from the menu options. OR you can use the
C-V key combination.
Copying/pasting multiple IDs You may copy or paste a block of (multiple) sample ID entries using the
same procedure described above. When pasting multiple entries, make
certain to select the same number of sample locations as were initially
copied. If you select a larger number, only the original copied number of
entries will be pasted. If you select a smaller number, information for the
last sample(s) in the block will not be copied.
Inserting/deleting a sample ID in the test sequence
To insert a sample ID into an existing sample run test sequence, highlight
the desired sample location in the sample run sequence and press
I.
OR highlight the desired ID number, click the right mouse button, and
select
Insert At
from the
Sample Action
options.
The existing sample entries will be moved down one position in the
sequence and you can enter the new sample ID information at the cursor.
CAUTION
If the list box already contains a sample ID for every position on the tray,
the sample data for the final position will be discarded when a position is
cleared for new data.
To delete one or more sample IDs and move all remaining samples in the
sequence up in position, highlight the sample ID(s) you wish to delete and
press the
D key. OR you may right-click in the highlighted block and
select
Delete
from the sample action options window. The highlighted
sample (or samples) will be deleted and any existing sample entries
following the removed items will be moved up to take their place in the
sample run sequence.
