The host computer will request a pin bar and plate to be loaded, and
the Mako CTP will prompt you to load the plate. One of the
following prompts appears on the control panel LCD:
LOAD A PLATE
<plate name>
<bar name>
This message indicates that the next plate to be imaged is the same
as the preceding plate. It is a prompt for you to load the same
kind of plate that was just imaged.
LOAD A NEW PLATE
<plate name>
<bar name>
This message indicates that the next plate to be imaged is different
than previous plate, but that it uses the same pin bar. It is a prompt
for you to load the new (different) type plate.
VERIFY BAR AND LOAD
<plate name>
<bar name>
The meaning of this message depends on when it appears during
the CtServer (host computer) session.
When the session is first opened, it is a prompt for you to ensure
that the correct pin bar is installed before loading the first
plate, and then to load the plate.
Subsequently in the session, the message indicates that the next
plate to be imaged is different than the preceding plate AND
requires a different pin bar. Thus, it is a prompt for you to change
the pin bar and load the new (different) plate.
The technique used for loading plates is a key in achieving good
