5.3.4 Vial Entry Display
The Vial Entry display is used for entering vials into the instrument. The display shows information
about the vial currently being entered and about the current drawer.
Typically you access Vial Entry to scan one or more new vials to enter them into the instrument. The
information for each scanned vial appears on the display.
To save the current information, place the vial into an available station.
To clear the display without saving any information, select Clear.
Vial Entry cannot be performed at an instrument in degraded mode in a BD EpiCenter configuration.
