Parameter Names
Each parameter is defaulted to its channel name (FSC, SSC, FL1, FL2, FL3, and FL4). The
default parameter name can be entered by the user. This will be the parameter name for all new
protocols created once the preferences have been changed.
Note: Parameter names can also be changed on the instrument panel but they will revert to
default names when a new protocol is opened. Refer to Section 5.1.6, PMT Voltages, to see
how to change names on the instrument panel.
Default Save Location
The software can autosave after each file has finished acquiring. Files can be saved to a default
destination folder on the computer. This can be set for both protocols and for FCS files. In
addition, there is an option to require a prompt prior to clearing data.
Emergency Contact Information
An emergency contact name and phone number can be entered into these fields. The
information will be displayed in the
File > About window. This will let all users of the
instrument know what person within the lab or institution to contact for any emergency help
with the S3 system.
