  • a docking station including a video display which is overlaid by a container selected for loading, the display providing visible information locations on the display which are operable in the plurality of different patterns including the compartment pattern of the selected container when such container overlies the display such that each visible information location of the pattern provides visible information viewable through the body proximate each compartment;

    a container locator associated with the display, the locator providing at least one container-locating position which locates the compartments of the selected container at known positions of the display; and

    a controller operative to control the visible information locations on the display at the known positions to match the compartment pattern of the selected container to provide the visible information proximate each compartment.
