Software Setup
After performing the Luminex 200 system assembly, ensure that the
proper interface between the analyzer and PC is in place.
‹
To set up the software:
1. Turn on the Luminex analyzer, then turn on the PC. The
Luminex software launches automatically.
2. Click Yes to accept the End-User License Agreement. If the
system does not prompt you to accept this agreement, read the
agreement shown after the title page of this manual. If you reject
the agreement, you cannot use the Luminex 200 system. Contact
Luminex Technical Support if you reject the agreement.
3. Verify that the analyzer status, shown in the System Monitor box
on the Luminex Main window, is at “Standby.” If the status is
“Bad Link,” exit the Luminex software and start it again.
4. On the Analyzer menu, click Setup. The Machine Setup dialog
box opens.

5. Make sure that COM Port is set to 1. This setting refers to the
port on your computer, not on the Luminex analyzer.
6. Make sure that the XY Port is set to 2. If communication
between the Luminex analyzer and the Luminex XYP instrument
fails, switch ports so that the Luminex analyzer is on COM port
2 and the XY Port is set to 1. This task enables you to check if
the serial cable is the cause of the communication errors.
