Point control to select a temperature between 35
° C and 60 ° C (95°F

Hold Temperature between sessions checkbox. If this is not
checked, the heater turns off between acquisition sessions.

To control plate positions, use the controls in the Default Sample
Locations area. If you change these settings, be sure to select a
location that is large enough to hold the amount of sample required
for the command. The reservoir holds up to 3000 µL.
Click Apply and OK when you finish changing the options.
Sessions
You must create a session in order to collect assay data. A session is
a folder that contains individual assay data and specified settings.
When you first open a session, the session uses default settings.
These default values reflect calibrated and recommended settings.
There are four ways to create a session:
• use default settings
• use a template
• open an existing session and add new data
• open an existing session and save as a new session.
