Installation and Startup
To acquire an image using the text plate, follow the procedure below.
1.
Turn on the Imager and set the Filter Switch to 500 nm.
The Power On/Off and Filter Switches are located on the rear of the Imager. The Filter Switch should
be set to Carbohydrate, which uses a 500 nm filter.
The LEDs on the front of the Imager indicate Power ON and the Filter setting.
2.
If you have not already done so, start the Glyco Doc software.
Double-click on the Glyco Doc icon to start the software.
3.
Acquire an image.
Select Acquire Options from the Image menu, and from the list that is displayed, select Select Image
Rectangle.
Follow the on-screen prompts. The first prompt instructs you to “Place the gel into the tray and slide the
tray closed.” Place the Test Plate in the tray so that the silver strip along the edge faces into the Imager
and the text printed on the test plate is not up-side-down. (See Figure 6.) Then select OK.
The next prompt instructs you to select the area you want to image. To see the complete image, you
may need to enlarge the display window. To do so, move the mouse so that the cursor is over the bor-
der of the image area; then hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to enlarge the win-
dow. Then select OK.
4.
Acquire an image.
Select Acquire from the Image menu, and from the list that is displayed, select Carbohydrate gel.
5.
From the SE1000 Camera Control window,
a.
Verify the Percent Saturation... radio button is selected, and it is set to 0.00.
b.
Verify the Normal Resolution radio button is selected.
c.
Click on the Acquire Image button in the SE1000 Camera Control window.
Use the Up/Down arrows to change the setting.
6.
Follow the instructions presented.
a.
When prompted, place the Image Area Setup Pattern test plate into the gel holder.
b.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
c.
The acquired image is displayed. Enlarge the Image window, if necessary.
7.
Compare the resulting image with that of the test image printout found in the QC/Shipping pack-
et. This printout was created using the same Image Area Setup Pattern test plate.
If there are radical differences between the image you see and the test image printout provided with
your imager, refer to the Imager Troubleshooting table in Chapter 4 to determine the problem and the
appropriate corrective action.
