Starting the System
Before starting Bio-Plex Manager
™
6.1 software, make sure the Hardware
Protection Key is attached to your computer, and switch on the array reader,
the HTF (if one is being used), and the microplate platform. This turns on the
optics inside the array reader and enables communication between the array
reader and software.
NOTE: Avoid using other applications while Bio-Plex Manager is
communicating with the array reader. Running other applications may
interrupt communication between Bio-Plex Manager and the array reader.
Starting Bio-Plex Manager
To start Bio-Plex Manager, click the application icon on your desktop
or select Bio-Plex Manager 6.1 from the Programs directory on your Windows
Start menu. The software opens and attempts to connect to the array reader
and platform.
