The number you see in the MAX Available Slots field depends on the
VITEK
®
2 instrument you have and the optical configuration of the
instrument.
Cassette Name Field
When the instrument is in Cassette Only mode (3, Figure 6-1), this field
displays the name of the most recently used cassette. That cassette name is
applied to all cassettes unless you elect to change it. When the instrument is
in Smart Carrier mode, the field displays the name SCS.
Dilution Mode Indicator
The Dilution Mode Indicator field (4, Figure 6-1) displays when the instrument
is in Cassette Only mode. The field then tells you whether the instrument is
set to the Automatic or Pre-Diluted dilution mode. This field should be
checked before loading a cassette.
Status Screen Icons
The area on the Status screen just above the disposables graphs is reserved
for the Status screen (5, 7, Figure 6-1) icons.
