Creating Plate Documents Using the Template Batch Utility
About the
Template Batch
Utility
The Template Batch utility allows you to quickly create multiple plate documents
from a single SDS 7900HT Template Document (*.sdt). The Template Batch utility
can be a useful timesaving device in situations where samples are run on plates with
identical assay configurations.
IMPORTANT! Plate documents created by the Template Batch utility do not contain
sample or plate information (Bar code or Comment settings). You must apply this
information to each plate document individually after the file is run.
