Operation

The software on the PC is used to select one of three operating modes

In manual mode, 96 wells are illuminated in turn, either one well, or one column, or one row at a time

In custom mode a sub-set of wells is defined and illuminated one well at a time

In results mode the software is used to select a subset of wells by comparing well readings previously entered into an Excel spreadsheet against predetermined thresholds. The wells selected above the threshold are sequentially illuminated

In all modes the user steps through the sequence using either a fascia mounted button or a footswitch.
