Use Manual

password A string of alphanumeric characters that an operator enters when the operator logs
on to the system. A password is used with a user name to provide access to system
functionality. A password can be a personal identification number.
pipettor A device that detects, aspirates, transfers, and dispenses samples.
printed circuit board A board with electrical circuits that are used to connect electronic or electrical
components in electronic equipment such as a computer.
RackPort An accessory in drawers that is used to position racks for sample tubes and pipettors.
A RackPort can be used in module drawers.
radio-frequency
identification (RFID)
tag
An RFID tag is located on a RackPort and is used for automatic recognition on
modules.
robot A device that loads and unloads the CARs and FlexRacks with its gripper. The robot
transports samples into input, output, and error areas.
screen The screen is displayed on the touchscreen user interface.
system log An electronic log that displays and stores a record of error-related and informational
message codes that can be used to troubleshoot problems associated with system
performance and results reporting. When the maximum capacity is reached,
messages are replaced on a first-in and first-out basis.
time-out An error that may occur for software communication functions when a defined time
limit is exceeded while the operator waits for a response from a device.
track A component of the laboratory automation system that is used by CARs to transport
samples to the various modules. Externally supplied analyzers are connected to
specific interfaces. The track structure is customizable and can be extended as
required.
Track Sample
Manager
The central software application between the laboratory automation system and the
laboratory information system. The Track Sample Manager provides the modules with
sample-specific information and instructions; controls and monitors sample transport
on the CARs; and provides statistics on performance, throughput, and system events.
track section Components of the laboratory automation system that include floor and ceiling
sections and provide space for laboratory utility lines carrying electricity, water, or
wastewater.
Track Workflow
Manager
A software interface between the laboratory information system and the Track
Sample Manager of the GLP systems Track. Individual sample orders are translated
into preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical processing steps by using an
algorithm.
