Entering Slide Information
Slides can be programmed from the PROGRAMMING GRID either through the Slides function for
quick programming of total slide count, or through the SLIDE INFORMATION button for entering
specific slide identification information. This section describes both options for programming slides.
Slides Function
Adding Slides
The Slides option expedites programming by reducing the amount of information required to
program a staining run.
1. The
Slides function can be accessed from the PROGRAMMING GRID by moving the
mouse pointer to Slides on the menu bar and pressing the left mouse button.
This selection displays the SLIDE COUNT window for entering the total number of slides
for the current staining run. This function is used to bypass the SLIDE INFORMATION
screen when programming a staining run.
2. Enter the desired number of slides in the text box or use the scroll bar to select the
desired number of slides.
3. Select
the
OK button to save the entered information. The PROGRAMMING GRID is
displayed and ready for programming.
Select the CANCEL button to escape without saving the changes. The PROGRAMMING
GRID is displayed.
NOTE: Once a run has been set up using the SLIDE COUNT window, slide, tissue or
doctor information cannot be added to the run. Selecting the SLIDE INFO button displays
the SLIDE COUNT window.
NOTE: Slide Identification, Case #, Block ID, Tissue or Doctor Name will not be
associated/displayed in the Programming Grid when the Slides function is used.
