Plate Maps
There are two ways to select a plate map for the measurement. The default is to apply the plate map to all steps
within a protocol. In the upper right corner of the protocol, the user can lock or unlock the plate map. When
locked (which is the default), the plate map is applied to each step of the protocol.
When the plate map is applied to each step of the protocol, only the plate map in the upper right corner may be
modified. The plate maps within each step of the protocol are then shaded and cannot be modified.
Apply same
Plate Map
for each
protocol step.
Figure 20. When the plate map is locked, the map is applied to each step of the protocol.
When the plate map is unlocked, each step of the protocol can have a different plate map. The plate map in the
upper right corner in this case is shaded and cannot be modified, whereas the plate maps within each step of the
protocol are now active and the user can modify each step as desired.
Select Plate Map
for each
protocol step.
F igure 21. When the plate map is unlocked, a different plate map can be created for each step.
Whenever a protocol is locked, the plate map that is indicated in the upper right corner will apply to each protocol
step. Notice in Figure 21, step 1 of the protocol has columns 1–6 selected, and step 2 has columns 7–12 selected.
However, the global plate map has columns 1–6 selected. When locking the protocol, each step will revert to the
global plate map (columns 1–6).
