Menus

The Opsys MW™ menus are hierarchical and are organised by function. There are two main menus: Setup and Program.

	Menu			Purpose
	SETUP			Configure the Instrument


	PROGRAM			Create or edit plate washing protocols *

*A protocol includes general information (e.g. the type of microplate to be washed) as well as a listing of the various steps to be used in the washing process.

Once the instrument is switched on and the self-test is successfully completed, the main menu is displayed. It contains SETUP and PROGRAM menu headers:

1: --------

SETUP PROGRAM

Note: Dashes are initially displayed after the

wash protocol number (i.e., 1: - - - - - - - - in the above example) if a wash protocol has not yet been named. Once a wash protocol is named, the name is displayed after the protocol number. Refer to page 41 for the procedure to create and name a wash protocol.

Display a different wash protocol number and name (there can be up to 40) by pressing the up or down scroll keys or by entering the protocol number using the keypad.

Access a menu by pressing the function key beneath the menu header. Cancel a menu selection and display the previous (higher level) menu by pressing the CANCEL key.
