within
MicroStation/
MicroLog
software. Use it
to log in and
read multiple
MicroPlates
efficiently.

8. Repeat steps 6 thru 7 to view all records.
Setting Up a Worksheet
Reading MicroPlates
Worksheets offer an efficient way to log in and read multiple
MicroPlates. By entering multiple sample identifiers and MicroPlate
reactions, you simply read MicroPlates sequentially as the worksheet
indicates, without stopping to enter more information. If you’re
working with over five MicroPlates, using a worksheet is faster. If
you’re reading ten MicroPlates or more, worksheets will save
significant time.
Worksheets also allow you to:
• Have one shift set up a worksheet, and the second shift read the
MicroPlates
• Avoid entering data fields more than once if you plan to read plates
at multiple incubation time points
Printing worksheets gives a record of batch activity. You can use a
worksheet whether in manual or reader mode. Worksheet use is
optional.
Note: If the program is running in Restricted mode, you have
access to this feature only if you have “Log-In” privileges.
1. On the Set Up window, select Yes on the Use Worksheet dropdown
list.
2. Click on the Worksheet Name field. A Worksheet File dialog
box appears. Type the desired file name (W4C extension) or
choose a previously created worksheet to edit. (Note: Save
worksheets that have been created in the “DataFile” folder, or
create a separate Worksheet folder. This will assist you in
recalling the files at a later date.)
