CUSTOMIZATION OF SETTINGS
3.2 Revised 5/19/2010
Button Descriptions
STOP
When selected, it pauses the current instrument activities
and displays a dialog box that enables the operator to
either resume the activity or abort it. To abort, the person
currently logged in, must log in again. The system would
then transfer all cassettes present in the base molds to
one of the output doors and will ask the operator to
remove the magazines from the loading area. Operation
will then stop. If the current login password is not entered,
or if no selection is made within 30 seconds, operation will
resume automatically.
NOTE: The STOP button only appears while the system
is embedding.
LOG IN
OR
LOG OFF toggle
This is used to allow a user to Log in or Log off the
system.
LIGHT ON/LIGHT OFF toggle
This is used to turn the internal chamber light ON or OFF.
If left on, the light will automatically turn off after 30
minutes of inactivity.
OVERRIDE TIMER
When displayed, it allows the user to override the four
hour warm up timer. This button appears only if paraffin
temperature has reached the factory set temperature. If
cassettes are present and the magazines have been
warmed for 15 minutes, the system will start embedding
when this button is pressed.
INSTRUMENT ACCESS
When displayed, it allows the user to pause the system
operation, access the interior of the system by opening the
front or rear doors, and resume operation by touching OK
in an on-screen prompt.
LOAD MAGAZINE
When displayed, it allows the user to request access to
the input door. Once the instrument has initialized the door
mechanism, the ID interlock is released and magazines
can be removed and inserted. Inserted magazines will be
subject to a 15 minute warm up period before embedding
starts.
NOTE: If previously inserted magazines have already
been warmed for 15 minutes, embedding will
automatically start or resume for these magazines as soon
as the door is closed and locked.
At the bottom of every screen:
− Total number of cassettes embedded, the number of
cassettes thrown to the chute and the reservoir
paraffin temperature are displayed at the lower left
corner of the screen.
− The next programmed warm up time, cool down time,
and the current reservoir paraffin fill level status are
displayed at the lower right corner of the screen.
− The indicated Paraffin levels are:
Good
Low (xxx), the “xxx” number inside the
parenthesis is the numbers of cassettes that can
be embedded with the amount of paraffin left
inside the reservoir. When paraffin level is first
detected Low, 128 cassettes can still be
embedded without any refill. This number
counts down from 128 to 0.
− HELP
When selected, pops up context sensitive help menu.
