5.3 Start Stacker Run
Once a script has been defined, batch processing can be started by selecting
Start Stacker Run from the Instrument menu or by clicking the
button on the toolbar. The output stack of the Connect
stacker must be empty before starting a run.
The Stacker Operations dialog box appears:
• Select Skip topmost plate if the plate shall be neglected for measurement.
The topmost plate will not be processed and will be moved to the output stack.
• Select Restack after last plate to return all plates in their original order to the
input stack after all plates have been processed.
Click OK to confirm the settings and start batch processing.
Excel opens automatically and the measurement results of each plate
measurement will be saved in a separate worksheet. If Read barcode has been
selected in the Plate program element, the worksheets will be named according
to the corresponding barcode number; otherwise they will be named Plate 1,
Plate 2 etc.

PARK POSITION AND DOES NOT HINDER ANY OF THE READER’S
MOVEABLE PARTS (E.G. PLATE CARRIER, CUVETTE CARRIER,
