Data Entry
The Data Entry screen enables the creation of variables for use with the Volume Register function and
as a Repeat Count, Process Counter or Timer Loop condition. To define a variable:
1. Click the + to add a new variable.
2. Enter a name for the variable. This name will appear in Step view when selecting a Volume
Register trigger, or in the dropdown when setting up a Loop condition.
Note: A Data Entry window will also be displayed by the Rotea
the protocol. The user will be prompted to enter a value for each Data Entry variable so the name
should be concise and easily understood.
3. Enter what unit the variable is measured in. If using the Data Entry in conjunction with Volume
Register, the unit entered must be able to be converted to mL with a simple multiplier. If using
this Data Entry for a Loop condition, ensure that the units entered match those used in the
Loop condition (i.e. number of repeats for Repeat Counter and Process Counter, mL for Valve
Volume, or seconds for Timer).
4. Enter a minimum and maximum value for entering the variable value into the Rotea
are safeguards to prevent the user from entering a value that would be too high or too low for the
process to run correctly.
