1 Introduction
1.1 About this Manual
This manual comprises all important information about the first installation of the Roboocyte2
hardware and software and about the daily work with the Roboocyte2. It is assumed that you
already have a basic understanding of technical and software terms. Thus, no special skills are
required to read this manual.
If you need information on the Roboocyte2 Scripting Language, please refer to the Roboocyte2
Scripting Language manual.
If you are using the Roboocyte2 for the first time, please read the important safety advice before
installing the hardware and software. Please see chapter "First use of the Roboocyte2", where
you will find important information about the installation and first steps.
Then, start practicing using the chapter “Recording in Manual or Automated Mode”. We offer
you the opportunity of "Learning by Doing", which means that you start directly with practicing
without much reading beforehand. We suggest that you start the Roboocyte2 and then follow the
tutorial step by step, either using the integrated help or the printed manual. Just decide what you
like to do, read all necessary information in short and put this information directly into practice.
The printed manual and help are basically the same, so it is up to you which one you will use.
The help offers you the advantage of scrolling through the text in a non-linear fashion, picking
up all information you need, especially if you use the “Index” and the “Search” function. If you
are going to read larger text passages, however, you may prefer the printed manual.
The device and the software are part of an ongoing developmental process. Please understand
that the provided documentation is not always up to date. The latest information can be found
in the Roboocyte2 help. Check also the Multi Channel Systems MCS GmbH web site
