Relationship of Solution Configurations and Station Numbers
This section explains the relationship of solution configurations and station numbers shown on the screen.
The link station is available only when the instrument is connected to an automated coverslipper. It cannot
be used if an automated coverslipper is not connected.
● Arrangement of small solution stations
The small solution stations can be arranged "without special solution stations" or "with special solution
stations." In both cases, the solution configurations and number of stations are the same. However, the
number of stations and station numbers vary depending on whether some stations are used as wash
stations or solution stations.
Figure Arrangement with/without Special Solution Stations
Fixed station numbers are assigned to the start stations (S1 to S3), end stations (linked) (E1-1 to E1-5),
end stations (not linked) (E2-1 to E2-5), wash stations (W1 to W4), drying stations (D1A, D1B, D2A, D2B),
heating stations (H1, H2) and link station (LINK). The tables below specify the identification number of
each station attribute and the corresponding station number.
* S2 and S3 can also be set as solution stations.

The rightmost end station is
selected as the PE station
