Chapter 12

Running samples

Note:
• When the XF-1600 is connected to the Sample Preparation System PS-10, the information on the rotor
preprocessed by the PS-10 can be transferred to the XF-1600, and the workitems are automatically
created to run the samples. When connecting the PS-10, configure settings on both the [PS-10] and
[Host Computer] screens under [IPU Settings] before performing measurements. For details, see the
following:
(➤P.249 "Chapter 15: 15.4.15 PS-10")
(➤P.248 "Chapter 15: 15.4.14 Host computer")
• If the system is not connected to the PS-10, workitems must be registered before running the samples,
except when you perform auto-compensation or panel QC using the auto loader. For details, see the
following:
(➤P.98 "Chapter 10: 10.4.1 Registering a workitem in the worklist (for auto loader analysis)")

1 (When the PS-10 connection is enabled) Make sure that the [PS-10] status is
green.
If the [PS-10] status is red, an error has occurred. Verify that the system is properly connected to the PS-10 and
that the PS-10 power turns on.
Also confirm whether the host computer connection is enabled. If not, patient information cannot be received
and generated in the workitems, and you will have to manually enter the information.

2 Make sure that the analysis mode of the status area is [AutoLoader]. If the
mode is set to [Manual], press the mode switch.
The mode changes to [AutoLoader].

3 Make sure that the instrument is in the ready state.
If the auto loader analysis status indicator LED/
instrument status shown in the bottom left corner of the
IPU screen does not light green, wait until it does.
