Installing the Software
To install or reinstall the software, insert the Bio-Plex Manager CD into the
CD-ROM drive on your computer.
NOTES
• Before installing Bio-Plex Manager 6.1, we recommend that you
first uninstall any existing version of Bio-Plex Manager on your
computer
• We recommend that you turn off any antivirus protection software
before installation. Such software, if active, can greatly slow the
progress of the installation. If you are unable to turn off your
antivirus protection software, allow 15 minutes for complete
installation. Do not cancel the installation during this period
The Bio-Plex Manager Installation Program opens, displaying a navigation
screen for performing the installation.
Microsoft.NET
Microsoft.NET is automatically installed on your computer when you install
Bio-Plex Manager. It is required to support the logistic curve-fitting features of
Bio-Plex Manager.
Bioplexdata.mdb File
During installation, you will be prompted to save the application database file
(bioplexdata.mdb) to a location on your hard drive or a file server. This
database file contains logs of calibration, validation, and instrument
operations activity for your instrument.
• For more information about the Calibration Log, see page 34
• For more information about the Validation Log, see page 45
• For more information about the Instrument Operations Log, see
page 51
You can save the bioplexdata.mdb file to any folder on your computer. The
default location is the Bio-Plex Manager application folder. If your computer is
connected to multiple instruments, each instrument must have a separate
bioplexdata.mdb file saved in a different folder.
For more information about the calibration, validation, and instrument
operations logs in Bio-Plex Manager 6.1 Security Edition, see Controlling the
System on page 25.
