2.7.6.7 Output sorter
In the output sorter, the tubes are removed from RT-Transport and distributed to the targets
(racks). During operation the sorting unit checks for rack presence on inserting a tube. Only
then the tube is released. The positions of the tubes can be followed on the monitor. The
positions of the tubes in the racks (output sorter) are defined as targets.
