In the Set Number of Samples dialog, the maximum number of unknown
samples defined in the plate template will be noted next to the field.
Figure 121. Set Number of Unknown Samples dialog
The maximum number of unknown samples is determined by the number of
formatted unknown sample wells and the number of wells per replicate group
defined in the template. For example, a template with 48 wells defined as
unknowns and four wells per replicate will have a maximum number of 12
samples.
Enter the number of samples to use in a particular reading in the field and click
OK. The plate format will change to indicate the new number and layout of the
sample wells. Only those wells will be read during a reading.
NOTE: You can specify only the number of unknown samples using this
command—not standards, controls, or blanks.
If you save the Protocol file after changing the number of unknown samples,
the number of samples you specified will become the new maximum number
of samples. To preserve the original number of unknown samples, save the
changed Protocol file under a different name.
Generating a Results File from a Protocol
File
The Results file must be signed before a reading can begin. In Secure Mode,
the Auto Save After Run checkbox in the Run Protocol window (see page 100)
is automatically selected and cannot be deselected. You are prompted to sign
and save the Results file at the start of each reading.
