Pull samples

The Sample Viewer allows users to specify that a sample has been pulled, if they have the required permission to modify the sample information.

A sample is said to be pulled when it is selected from the other samples for recording the time required for measurement. It is not necessary to tell the system that a sample was pulled to record measurements for it. A sample can be pulled only if it is yet to be pulled and the sample status is Ready or Ready Warning.

Users click the Pull Sample button to mark the selected sample as Pulled. The Sample Pulled Date dialog box appears.

The pulled date defaults to the current date and time. Users can manually change the date and time, or click the Browse button to display the Enter a Date and Time dialog box.
