The items in the SFC Multisampler graphic have the following meaning and function:

	The syringe graphic shows a representation of the flowpath: upper image: SFC mode lower image: LC mode The volume of the last injection is shown next to the syringe graphic.
	The sample hotel graphic is shown with a yellow drawer (lower image) if an open drawer is detected. When you move the mouse over the graphic, an enlarged graphic of the sample hotel is displayed, showing the trays and plates that are currently loaded in your instrument (not applicable to custom plates). See Tray and Plate Configuration to edit the tray and plate configuration.

While the actual and set temperatures differ by more than 2 degrees, the text is highlighted in yellow. Note (lower icon): An additional exclamation mark denotes that the cooler or thermostat performance is compromised; move the mouse over the icon to see a tooltip indicating the cause of the malfunction. See Enable Analysis to set the temperature conditions under which an analysis will be started.
