Hey George, actually, we do have to switch the two trays (GB rack and
TCEA vials) in and out of TRAY01 - we just copy the existing TRAY01
to an appropriately named file (e.g., TRAYTCEA), if it doesn't
already exist, delete TRAY01, then copy the other file (TRAYGB) to a
new file named TRAY01 (easier to do it than to describe it).
