The row and plate numbering system set the position of the plate relative to the other plates in
the tank and must be used with the SIMS GO data acquisition software. The numbering system
begins in the top left-hand corner with the row number increases downwards and the plate
number increases from left to right (the plate number resets on each new row).
NOTE
It is possible to select an alternative plate numbering system for report generation in the SIMS
PRO software.

For annular numbers set the position of the annular plate relative to the other annular plates in
the ring. The software counts annular plates in a clockwise direction beginning at 1. It is
recommended to keep the position of annular 1 close to the top left-hand corner.
NOTE
The annular ring can be rotated to the required position in the SIMS PRO software.

Verify the plate thickness and coating if applicable for each plate by performing at least 3 UT
plate thickness readings. We advise the checks are performed by checking the thickness of:
•
One corner of the plate.
•
The center of the plate.
•
The opposite diagonal corner of the plate.
