Abstract
A sample processing systemthat may be automated and methods are disclosed where sample(s)are arranged on a carrier elementand a process operation control systemautomatically processes the sample(s) perhaps robotically according to an desired aggregation of event dictated by an input. Alteration of an initial aggregated event topology may be accepted while the system is processing an initial aggregation and varied-parameter robotic control simulation functionalitiesmay be accomplished to determine an enhanced sequence for processing. Suggested operator actions may be displayed that might further enhance the scheduling of the altered aggregated event topology together with an automatic operator need promptthat may inform an operator of a need for a particular action in order to accomplish the desired tasks. Reversibility to proposed changes may be made available so that an operator may avoid having to activate proposed changes if they cause a processing result that is not acceptable.
