The following is a list of messages from the Autosampler:
• Home message:
o Response after a successful reset
o +HOME_XX.YY (The XX.YY is the software revision number)
• VT zzzzzzz XY:
o Vacutainer® style tube detected
o Barcode content: “zzzzzzzzzzz”
o Tray position XY
• MV zzzzzzz XY:
o Monovette® style tube detected
o Barcode content: “zzzzzzzzzzz”
o Tray position XY
• +F : confirmation that the tube was moved from the mixing to the sampling position
• The power-on message contains the serial number of the Autosampler unit.
During the reset cycle are the Autosampler components moving to their ‘home position’. The
mixing stations moves to an upright position, the active rack moves back on to the sample
tray, and the entire tray moves to its home position. Small Sample Mode is not supported by
the Autosampler.
