The instrument status is used to track the progress of an instrument through the laboratory. ProCal and ProCal-Track will automatically change some statuses when performing certain actions. All statuses can be set manually at any point.
The following instrument statuses are available:
| Status | Status Name | Status Description |
A | With Customer | The instrument is not currently booked in, and therefore is with the customer. ProCal-Track will set this status automatically when dispatching an item |
