Monitor Tab

The Monitor tab provides you with information, optionally in thumbnail graphs as well as numerical format, to help you confirm that your current runs are working.

This tab provides data for you to know whether an in-progress run is working or not, through the following metrics:

Beads loading
Key signal
Usable sequence

In the Monitor tab, you can also review the planned run settings for a run that is currently in progress on the sequencing instrument or the Ion Chef instrument.

An example entry in the Monitor > Runs in Progress is shown below:

With the Monitor tab List View you can see at a glance if any run quality metrics fall below the thresholds that you define in your template (see Templates ). Any metrics below threshold are shown in red in the thumbnail graphs.

Other information shown in Run in Progress entries are:

The Sequencing run name
Run information: started date, chip type, run type, and run notes
A link to the run report
Run status: In progress, completed, or terminated
A link to the run plan for this sequencing run
The number of flows transferred
A flow transfer progress bar

The Monitor tab in 4.4 now has a drop-down menu to speed your access to Runs in Progress.
