1.16.5 Assigning filter descriptions in Quansoft
Once the cartridge has been fitted into the cartridge carousel, the system will check for the
presence of a new cartridge and then ask the user for the
Dye Names. Up to four names can be
assigned to any given filter cartridge and the colour coding can be changed by clicking on the
Colour icon. The colour chosen here will be the colour of the dot representing the read points on
the thermal profile graph.
The assigned cartridge will now be available for use in the Program Editor (see section 3.4.3). It
is represented by the icon colour chosen during installation, although the colour can be changed
by double-clicking the icon in the read settings box. The user can choose to select a cartridge by
name or by wavelength. Simply click the
Select by Name/Wavelength button to select which filter
to use.
1.16.6 Editing filter descriptions
Clicking the Edit button in the Cartridge Access & Editing screen brings up the settings boxes so
that it is possible to change the wavelength, bandwidth, name or icon colour for the filter. Perform
the steps in the same way as when adding a cartridge.
1.16.7 Removing a filter cartridge
If a cartridge is placed into the filter carousel without being installed via the software, a message
will warn the user of the presence of an
illegal cartridge and the cartridge will be unavailable for
use. To remove this or any other cartridge, use the following procedure:
• In the Access and Editing screen of the Filter Wizard, click Remove next to the appropriate
filter.
• Click Yes to confirm the procedure and the Remove Cartridge screen will appear.
• Follow the procedure as shown and click Finish to complete.
