Microplate Manager User Guide

When you open a protocol, Microplate Manager will look first for a reader at the
serial port you select. If a reader is not found at that port, the software will scan the
remaining ports as well as the SCSI bus for a reader.

If a reader is found at a particular port, that port will be selected. If no reader is found
at any serial port or the SCSI port, you will receive an error message.

Filters

If you change the filters in the Ultramark or Model 550 microplate readers, you can
specify the wavelengths of the new filters from within Microplate Manager.
(Benchmark users should refer to the hardware manual for instructions on changing
filter settings.)
