Symbols Used in the Protocols Tree
When a sample counting cycle begins, the protocol flag associated with this assay
will change from white or yellow to green.
Figure 4-6 Protocol Tree Symbols
The Priostat flag is the only flag in the Protocols Tree that is normally red. It will
turn from red to green when the Priostat protocol begins.
Figure 4-7 The Priostat Flag
A yellow flag in the Protocols Tree indicates that at least one count cycle for this
assay has been completed but that the protocol has remaining count cycles. This
yellow flag will also appear if you interrupt the protocol for a Priostat operation.
Figure 4-8 The Yellow Flag
A checkered flag is displayed when all the count cycles for the assay are
completed.
Figure 4-9 The Checkered Flag
A red prohibitory symbol indicates that a protocol cannot be counted. Typically,
this will result when no assay is associated with a protocol flag number that the
instrument has detected. This symbol could also indicate that an assay file has
been deleted.
Figure 4-10 The Red Prohibitory Symbol
A yellow prohibitory symbol indicates that data analysis cannot be performed.
Typically, this will result when an appropriate standard set is missing from the
