At the top of the dialog box, enter your name in the field. If you are using the
Security Edition of the software in Secure Mode, your user name will be listed
and grayed out.
The time and date of the last calibration using Bio-Plex Manager are listed, as
is the temperature at the time of that calibration. If the temperature has not
changed by more than 2ºC in a single day, it is not necessary to recalibrate the
instrument.
Next, select the calibration type by clicking on the CAL1 & CAL2, CAL1 Only,
or CAL2 Only button. You should perform both CAL1 and CAL2 calibration
daily.
