used again. To rerun the plate, configure a run with only the remaining steps. See section Rerunning
a plate for more information.
Note: A run cannot be stopped during barcode scanning or when one or more trays are ejected.
Note: If the Eject button is tapped or the physical eject button on the instrument is pressed
before the plate is returned to the tray, a warning message is displayed on the screen, and the tray
is not ejected.
Rerunning a plate
If a plate failed or was aborted during the Thermocycling or Imaging step, it can be run again after
adding new cycling or imaging steps. You can add the steps either through the instrument's plate
configurator or in the Software Suite. To add steps using the built-in plate configurator, follow the
steps in Plate configuration procedure. If you want to use the Software Suite, refer to section Setting
up an experiment.
