Calibration using ExiCfg
The calibration must be performed prior to operating Exicycler ™ 384 Real-Time Quantitative Thermal
Block. You can either transfer proper calibration data associated with a serial number from the
installation CD to the computer or perform the calibration by an authorized engineer of Bioneer. Install
the Operation and Analysis Software for the calibration data transfer to the computer. For a reliable
operation of the
Exicycler ™ 384, calibrating Exicycler ™ 384 with a Fluorescence test kit is
recommended. Calibration must be done when moving
Exicycler
™ 384 to a different location or when
changing a light source lamp. A periodical calibration of every 6 months helps to maintain the optimum
condition of
Exicycler
™ 384.
Use the ExiCfg program to calibrate
Exicycler
™ 384. The ExiCfg calibrates as well as diagnoses
systemical condition of
Exicycler
™ 384. Make sure that you are fully trained for handling the ExiCfg
before starting calibration. Otherwise, authorized staff is only allowed to manage the ExiCfg. Mis-use of
the ExiCfg by unauthorized staff may cause serious damage to
Exicycler
™ 384.
The calibration is carried out in 4 steps, Warming up the lamp > Mask calibration > Background
calibration > Multi-Channel calibration.
