Use the Vial Entry activity to reenter vials. If the vial is still in the database, the Vial Entry display
shows the existing information, including the previous station. A reentered vial should be placed in
its previous station, which illuminates FLASHING GREEN (if the drawer is open and the station is
unoccupied).
