Selecting a Reader
To select an instrument, go to the FILE menu and select Select Reader.
Figure 5. Select Reader dialog box.
From the pull-down menu, select the appropriate reader and click on OK. If you
select a reader that is not connected or is otherwise unavailable, you will receive a
warning message when you attempt to open a Protocol window.
Microplate Manager does not attempt to communicate to the reader until you open a
Protocol window.
(Note that for readers connected via serial port, you no longer have to select the serial
port for the instrument. Microplate Manager will automatically search the available
serial ports.)
Setting Filters
If you change the filters in the Ultramark or Model 550 microplate readers, you must
specify the wavelengths of the new filters in Microplate Manager. (Benchmark and
Model 680 users should refer to the hardware manual for instructions on changing
filter settings.)
You must open a Protocol window before you can change the filter settings.
