Two edit modes in plate mapping:
There are two editing modes, or the well type input mode and the well number
input mode. The current input mode is displayed at the upper left corner of the
screen. In case of the well type input mode, the mode sign is “[F]”. And in case of
the well number input mode, it is “■N■”.
The cursor that encloses the editing position of well has two types of enclosures
depending on the mode. For example, “[S01]” accepts the well type keys that be
assigned to the numerical keys and “■S01■” accepts the numerical input.
The mode is easily changed with the Decimal point key.
Key functions:
The Up, Down, Right and Left arrow key moves the cursor to the desired well.
The movement of the cursor also accompanies the scroll of this screen. The Left
arrow key will return the screen to the preceding screen, or the "select Mapping
mode Menu", only if the cursor is on the column #1. At this time, the selection
screen appears (See the left figure).
The Decimal point key changes the input mode.
The Numerical keys have two functions that one is used to input the number and
another is used to select a well type.
The Enter key checks the consistency between the edited plate map and other
parameters, memorizes the plate map into the protocol and changes this screen
back to the preceding screen. If it founds any inconsistency, a warning message
will be appeared on the screen.
