these functions:
• Flash memory test
• Microcontroller RAM test
• Nonvolatile memory test
• DSP program CRC test
• DSP capture test
• High voltage module
• Channel backgrounds test
• Pressurization test
• Actuator test
• Syringe pump test
• Backflush valve test

Show Bead
After selecting an entry from the drop-down list, sets the histogram
to show events for only one beadset [bead set number], <all gated>
events within the gate, or <all> events inside and outside the gate.
Select <all> (default) before setting the gate.
Single Step
Selecting this option on the toolbar pauses the system in between
each command or sample acquisition within a batch.
Skip [wells]
Enables you to deliberately bypass specific wells during batch
acquisition.
Soak
Prevents salt crystals from forming in the probe due to air exposure.
Soaking the probe replaces sheath fluid in the probe with water. You
should perform the soak function at the end of each day. The system
uses at least 250
µ L of distilled water.
Start Analysis
Opens the Open Batch dialog box, from which you select a batch to
analyze. Once you select the batch, the Analysis window opens.
Start (Plate)
This command initiates data acquisition on New Advanced Batches
and New Batches using system templates. During acquisition, the
system draws sample from the microtiter plate for processing.
Statistics
This command enables you to display selected statistics for sample
data. There are eleven different statistics: %CV, Trimmed %CV,
Count, Trimmed Count, Mean, Trimmed Mean, Median, Trimmed
Peak, Peak, Trimmed Std Dev, and StdDev.
