Instrument System Manual
The instrument deck is divided into 54 equal tracks. The tracks are numbered so
that
you can readily identify the location where a
carrier must be loaded. The track
positions are stamped on the surface of the autoload
tray. A corresponding LED on
the LED bar above the autoload tray indicates the
loading status of each track.
Track assignment is test-specific. The instrument
deck layout below shows you an
example of the areas for each carrier type.
