Quick Start

Software Installation
The system can be used out of the box.
All software modules are installed on the microarrayer computer and the system is 
calibrated.

Optional Software Installation
Software for Remote Access
We recommend connecting the microarrayer to the network via WiFi or Ethernet to be 
able to access it from an external computer. This allow backing up files with print 
programs and settings created during operating the system.
For access file system of the arrayer computer you need to install a program on the 
remote computer.

Refer to Accessing and Operating Microarrayer via Network manual for details.

Installing Microarrayer Software on Remote PC
Creating print programs with the Program Editor is more convenient on a larger monitor.
For this purpose the Program Editor can be installed on a remote computer. 
Robot Control module can also installed and run on an external PC. It wont be connected
to the microarrayer, but it can execute programs in the Simulation Mode.
With the remote access programs can be created and validated on an external PC and
transferred to the microarrayer via the network.

Refer to Software Installation manual for details.

Electric Connections
Connect Monitor
THe arrayer is shipped with 14" monitor. But any monitor with HDMI input can be used
