Lab/Rotor: Define Lab and Rotor Conditions

Panel Tab Options:

In each panel, tabs are visible at the top of the window to enable the user to move to another panel, to perform specific experiment subtasks.

  1. General: A panel whose primary purpose is to specify the experiment run ID (a description string), select a parent project name, and possibly change data source (database or local disk) or database investigator name.

  2. Lab/Rotor: A panel whose primary purpose is to select the Laboratory, Rotor, and Calibration values for the experiment.

  3. Speeds: A panel whose primary primary purpose is to specify one or more speed steps. For each step, speeds and durations may be given.

  4. Cells: A panel whose primary purpose is to select the centerpieces (or counterbalance) for the cells, along with a quartz/sapphire windows selection.

  5. Solutions: A panel whose primary purpose is to specify the solution to be used in each cell/channel.

  6. Optics: A panel whose primary purpose is to select the optical system used to scan.

  7. Range: A panel whose primary purpose is to select the wavelength ranges and cell radius measured.

  8. Submit: A panel whose primary purpose is save and upload the protocol to the Optima/Instrument and database.

Lab/Rotor Panel:

Using this panel, you can specify the rotor to be used on a proposed experiment. Specifications include the laboratory, the rotor type, and the calibration. The Rotor Management module help page has detailed explanations of these items.

Lab and Rotor Panel

Functions:

Laboratory:

Pull down a list and release on the laboratory to which the experiment belongs.

Rotor:

Pull down a list and release on the type of rotor to be used in the experiment.

Calibration:

Pull down a list and release on the calibration (in date string form) for use in the experiment.

Advanced Lab/Rotor/Calibration:

Click on this button to open a full Rotor dialog in which laboratory/rotor/calibration information may be created/selected. Selections in that dialog will be reflected in the other Experiment Rotor Panel GUI elements.

Shared Panel Functions:

A panel status box and multiple buttons are shared by all panels. The General tab help page has detailed explanations of these items.
