If all tubes were picked and placed successfully then the self-test is complete. To
prepare the PathFinder 350S for its first use, change the profile to the operating
profile to suit your tray configuration (see Section 7.8), if already configured.
Most systems will be preconfigured with at least one operational profile. If it is not
configured, then refer to Section 5.
If the self-test is not successful refer to the troubleshooting information in
Section 8.

The gates used are considered input and output for the purposes of
self-test only. They are used regardless of the actual configuration of
the tray.
Press Start on the home page. The Sorter should rotate the carousel and
begin picking tubes from the first rack.
The tubes will be placed into the carousel and their barcodes scanned.
When the last tube has been picked from the input rack, the rack can be
removed to save the Sorter trying to pick tubes from the remaining wells.
When all tubes have been placed in the output rack, press Pause on the home
page.
