About the Inbox on the instrument
The Inbo
x feature on the instrument allows you to send plate files from the Plate Manager software to
an instrument. Plate files that are sent to the Inbox on an instrument are also saved in the Plate files
library.
When you link a plate file, you can navigate to the Inbox to select the plate file (which lists only plate
files that have been sent to the instrument). This feature makes it easier and more convenient to locate
a plate file, instead of navigating to the My instrument location (which lists all plate files in the library).
Plate files are removed from the Inbox after they are run. Plate files remain in the library after they are
run.
