Plate Types setup is where you set up your plates. From Plate Types setup, you can add, edit, and delete plates by right-clicking your mouse anywhere in the Plate Type setup area, and selecting the desired action. For more information on what you can do from this tab, see Plate Types Setup.

Ingredient Setup

Double-clicking the Ingredients node from the Setup node opens a table of ingredients that are pre-defined in the ROCK MAKER software. You can search the ingredient list, rearrange how the list displays by column header, or right-click anywhere on the Ingredients list to add a new ingredient, delete an ingredient, import or export ingredients, and more.
