Protocol data and Limit error settings (KB)

Limit error YES: means that all data are send to the LIMS (in this case a measurement with hazy >25)

Limit error NO: means that data with a limit error are not send to the LIMS. In this case it can be seen that there was too much hazy, but in case other errors are only visible in the Starrsed software as L_err 13 29.28 200.

Herewith examples of result strings explanation of two protocols with and without Limit error settings.
